General Comments
Comment :  As California's local representative on the EAC Standards Board., I had the opportunity to speak with Secretary Markowitz during the meeting of the EAC Standards Board on August 24-25,
2005 in Denver, Colorado regarding her decision to use telephone voting for HAVA disability access compliance.

In the August 25 breakout group discussion I raised this issue, seeking
assurance that the VVSG would not preclude the use of telephone voting for HAVA disability access compliance. I was pleased that key NIST representatives in attendance stated that HAVA as well as the VVSG was meant to encompass innovative approaches to compliance such as
telephone voting.
