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. Electronic Vote Capture: The use of electronic technology to directly capture votes from the voter, regardless of how votes are recorded. DRE Voting Machines and Electronic Ballot Printers and some Electronically-Assisted Ballot Markers incorporate electronic vote capture subsystems involving touch-screens, voice input, push-buttons and supporting hardware and software.
