A "poll tape" is the phrase used to describe a printout from an optical scan voting machine made the evening of an election, after the machine has read all the ballots and crunched the numbers on its internal computer. It shows the total results of the election in that location.

(Usually each location has only one single optical scanner/reader, and thus produces only one poll tape.)
