  Vote #6: <Goofy>
  Vote #7: <Minnie Mouse>
  Vote #8: <Minnie Mouse>
  Vote #9: <Minnie Mouse>

  ELECTION RESULTS....

  Vote Summary:
  Goofy - 3 vote(s)
  Minnie Mouse - 6 vote(s)
  Donald Duck - 1 vote(s)

  WINNER: Minnie Mouse!

Optional Enhancements

Some of these enhancements are better solved after having knowledge from lesson 12, so you can try some and then come back and do others after lesson 12.

  • Handle ties for a winner appropriately
  • Handle grammar of vote summary saying vote or votes appropriately
  • Handle write in votes
  • Consider how to handle more than 10 votes
  • Consider how to handle more than 3 candidates
  • Refactor your code so that your code is DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
