Recently at a tournament we had a game where there were a ton of titled
vamps at the table. Plus there was a Demonstration in play, a Ventrue
Headquarters, and that Ventrue whose votes can be changed by an older
Toreador (and there were two Toreador decks). Four of the five players were
actually playing vote decks.
Anyway, tallying votes soon got pretty complex and I started wondering --
what would be a good visual way to tally votes? A white board? Two
calculators? Two buckets (pro and con) where methuselahs can dump counters?
Or maybe we should just always have a pen and paper ready . . .
I was just wondering if anyone had any unique method for tallying votes or
any suggestions.

We just call out the running total at every vote.
But your question makes me think of using the two-color peices from Othello
(also called Reversi). Black on one side, white on the other. Place them on the
vampire/location/Edge being used for the vote (or just in the ready region in
the case of cardless votes or votes you get from cards other people control).

Be sure to use differently-colored pieces for the Prisci ;)

I tend to tally votes-by-difference.
If you keep a track of how much it is passing or failing by, you don't
have to worry what the "total numbers" are...
Action mods checking votes tend to check "passing/failing" or "passing
by X" or "failing by X" so doing it by difference saves your brain.
