Abstract
A system and method for an election and data majority mechanism that solves problems such as bit flipping, mistracking, miscaching, and I/O status errors during real-time operations. Multiple copies of data are stored on various storage media of a data processing system. Errors that occur on the storage media or on other components of the data processing system are resolved by selecting the data with the highest frequency as the data majority. The data majority is propagated throughout the storage media to correct errors.
