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. Association: voting Source: ME Statutes Doesn’t such a machine also need to record an electronic ballot image? Wouldn’t it make more sense to define a touch screen voting machine as a specific instance of a DRE, i.e., one that uses touch screen sensor for user input (at least by non-disabled voters)?
