Comment : | In response to your request for comments on the draft glossary of voting system terminology, I offer the following, picking up with the letter D, having completed A through C in previous comments. As before, in each case, I am quoting the original and then offering an alternative definition. Broadly, the use of Electronic Vote Capture, Electronic Ballot Presentation or Electronic Vote Tabulation. Some readers will interpret this term narrowly, requiring that all be present before a system is properly described as an electronic voting system. Because of this, this term should be used with care.
