Elucidation: incurable curiosity, thank you very much as always!

[edit]

Hi guys. Regarding my incurable curiosity (I ask forgiveness!) On punch cards, in the early days (sixties and seventies) when the ballots were read by computers, the mainfraime ones (I always refer to an electoral context) which then printed the results, well, How were the returns transmitted to the Secretary of State and to the Networks for the dissemination of partial and total data? Thanks a lot.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.41.101.86 (talk) 16:23, 20 June 2021‎ (UTC)[reply]

This article mentions the types of computers each network had and some general background. Rmhermen (talk) 03:05, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
