Comment : | Touch Screen Voting Machine: Machine that utilizes a computer screen whereby a voter executes that voter’s choices by touching designated locations on the screen and that then tabulates those choices. Not all Touch Screen Voting Machines "tabulate...choices." The Definition of DRE has (salubriously) been changed in this draft to include using touch screens to mark paper ballots. This definition should be consistent with the well deserved broadening of DRE. We recommend the following: Touch Screen Voting Machine: Machine that utilizes a computer screen whereby a voter executes that voter’s choices by touching designated locations on the screen. It produces a tabulation of the voting data stored in a removable memory component and/or in printed copy.
