Glossary Term :  Audit Trail for DRE
Definition :  
Comment :  Paper printout of both votes cast, and all other actions performed on the system, by Direct Record Electronic Voting Systems, which election officials may use to crosscheck electronically tabulated totals.  

Explanation: The term DRE was expanded in a fashion inconsistent with its definition elsewhere. Multiple usages of the same acronym exist in elections discussions, but this glossary should choose a consistent term.
