Discussion:
The electronic record, digital vote processing system, and electronic vote
tabulation must be audited in real time without notifying the system of
the auditing process ongoing. A minimum of 5% of paper ballots of
record, selected entirely at random, will be directly and manually
compared to the digital record at each node within the digital vote
processing system. All digital vote processing systems are required to
maintain an unbroken, fully auditable chain of custody of electronic vote
records from the vote input device through to and including the electronic
vote tabulator that produces the vote count of record. All digital vote
processing systems that fail to provide an unbroken audit trail able to be audited by random, manual, real-time, audits using the paper ballot of
record are unacceptable for use in elections. | |
