Comment :  Appendix D:  If one is trying to ensure the accuracy of vote counts by auditing, then one needs to have permanent records to audit that are independent of the electronic system, not records that are independent of each other.

Appendix D:  In banking, audits are done independently of insiders within the system in order to detect errors that could be introduced by insiders.  Voting systems should provide the same protections.
