Comment
Electronic systems include a broad range of DREsystems, such as those that use touch screens and/or keyboards to record votes. In addition, voting systems that use electronicballots and transmit official vote data from the polling place to anotherlocation over a public network are now designated as Public Network DRE VotingSystems. Some paper-based systems encompass both punchcards andoptically scanned ballots. It needs to be noted that 32 states allow military and overseas voters to return ballots electronically.
