Glossary Term :  Voting Machine
Definition :  
Comment :  Mechanical, electro-mechanical, or electrical equipment used for the recording and tabulation of votes. See also Voting System.  

Explanation: For consistency with several other definitions, "electro-mechanical" should not be excluded. Also, recording is not necessarily "direct" (as in an EBP), so that word should be dropped.
