Elect is the controlling program. Elect works with the Reader program to process precincts of ballot cards and with View to display election results. Elect prints election results. Reader controls a card reader. Reader sends precinct results to Elect for posting.
Reader creates a backup ballot file for each precinct that it counts.
View displays election results that it obtains from Elect. You may use View interactively to examine cumulative and precinct results and to print them. You may use View's unattended mode to continuously display the latest cumulative results. You may use Pseudo as a substitute for Reader to exercise and test an election data set. Password must be used to create passwords for Elect when none exist.
