Name :   Doug Jones Organization :   N/A Post Date :   9/27/2005 Glossary Comments Glossary Term :   DRE-VVPAT Definition :   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. DRE-VVPAT: DRE voting system containing VVPAT capability. See also Direct Record Electronic Voting System and Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail.   DRE-VVPAT: A Direct-recording Electronic Voting System containing a Voter Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail. -- Comment: This is a stylistic issue. Why not simply use the terms in the definition instead of abbreviating them and then spelling them out in the see-also note.
