jstackpo Posted June 19, 2015 at 03:50 PM Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 at 03:50 PM No "Tally Committee" is described in RONR, but the "Tellers" are most likely what you are thinking of. They are not a formal committee, just a bunch of people who are pressed into service (by the presiding officer) for a specific job. See p. 414, and following for what they are supposed to do and report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted June 22, 2015 at 03:27 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 at 03:27 PM To "tell" is also a verb that means to count. It's what bank tellers do, and all told means roughly the same as all tallied. It sounds like just a difference in terminology for what is essentially the same function.
