 | | Some people think that whenever votes are recorded in a medium which is invisible to humans, electors lose any possibility to verify how their votes are collected and tallied up to produce the final result, thus they need to have an absolute faith in the accuracy, honesty and security of the whole electoral apparatus. | | | In a voting system that uses a ranked vote, the voter has to rank the alternatives in order of preference. | | | Also, it is often not clear whether the voter really understands how his or her vote is counted in the voting system, especially with the more complex types. |

| | When a quorum is present on the floor, it may be easier to obtain sufficient support for a recorded vote than for a yea-and-nay vote because the number of Members present probably will exceed the minimal quorum of 218 (in which case 1/5 of the number present will exceed 44). | | | Only when a quorum actually is present at the time of a voice or division vote--for example, when Members have just come to the floor to cast another vote--must a Member have the support of at least 1/5 of the Members present to secure a yea-and-nay vote on the same question. | | | If the Speaker discovers that a quorum is not present--which is more often the case--he announces that fact and also states that, under clauses 4 and 5 of Rule XV, an electronic vote is ordered on the question before the House. |
