General Comments
Comment :  The Guidelines reference "voting process" and define the term as the "entire array of procedures, people, resources, equipment and locations as associated with the conduct of elections." (p. A-35) While I agree with the expansive definition of "voting process," I believe that the Guidelines themselves should be limited to voting systems. While requirements for the "voting process" are important, they should be addressed in another document.
