Glossary Term :  Electronic Vote Capture System
Definition :  
Comment :  In describing the term "Electronic Vote Capture System (EVCS)", the term "accessible ballot printers (ABPs)" is used, but it does not exist.  For the intent of defining EVCS, the term EBPs should be used, not ABPs, for describing an Electronic Vote Capture System.   EBPs are already defined a few lines up from this definition.

Proposed change:  Replace the words "accessible ballot printers (ABPs)" with the words "electronic ballot printers (EBPs)".
