the voting machine’s processor architecture, the Z80. I built my first PC in 1982 and it ran a Z80 chip. Talk about OLD. The machine I built ran a form of DOS (not MSDOS). Put in perspective, there were no cell phones then, there was no public internet, there was no public fiberoptic networks. Modems of that day were analog not digital devices, and as such very limited in speed, all of them used existing twisted pair copper phone lines.

That’s actually a good thing. Slow, simple.
The code for counting votes is Apple II+ stuff.
