In 1868 Thomas Edison made his first of many patented inventions. This invention was the electric vote recorder. The purpose of the electric vote recorder was to quicken the practice of voting and to produce a more accurate counting of votes. This invention did not affect the common person because congress did not like Edison's invention of the electric vote recorder. Fortunately, Edison perservered through this rejection and invented many other things that would come in handy.
