Section :  6.4.6.3
Page no. :  18-19
Line no.:  
Comment :  Comment:
This section of the draft
standard must be completely
redone because as written it is
unworkable in the field.
Especially 6.4.6.3.4 "Voting
system equipment shall provide
a read-only external interface
to access the software on the
system".

Recommended change:
This section of the draft
standard must be completely redone

Rationale:
This requirement and its
associated bullet points cannot
be implemented in a costeffective
fashion, and will
obsolete the entire installed
base of voting equipment.
