Comment:
"Unique identifiers shall not be
displayed in a way that is easily
memorable by the voter." The
discussion takes it one step
further "Unique identifiers on
the paper record are displayed
or formatted in such a way that
they are not memorable to
voters, such as obscuring them
in other characters".

Recommended change:
recommend changing this
requirement to: "…shall not be
displayed in a way that is easily
memorable by the voter, yet is
visually identifiable by an
election official …"

Rationale:
The recount official must be
able to see this unique
identifier
tell me what “easily
memorable” means
