Method and system for transparent and secure vote tabulation

A transparent tabulation system, the system comprising:

• a computational engine, the engine comprising a CPU, a memory, an input module and an output module, the computational engine processing data and instructions received from the input module in accordance with a system software stored at least partially in the memory, and the computational engine providing results of CPU processing to the output module;
• a monitor, the monitor communicatively coupled with the computational engine and reading the activity of the computational engine, and the monitor communicating a history of the computational activity of the computational engine for storage as a public record;
• a wireless transmitter communicatively coupled with the monitor whereby the history of computational activity is transmitted via a wireless communications mode, wherein the wireless transmitter has multi-channel capability and the wireless transmitter is configured with auto- selection capability of a communications channel by the monitor from a plurality of communications channels, wherein the wireless transmitter is configured to enable user selection of a communications channel from a plurality of communications channels.
