Comment :  B. CERTIFICATION PROCESS

Transparency is needed in this area as well.  

Voters must have confidence in the certification process of  
their voting systems.  

All security evaluations should be conducted by experts with no  
conflicts of interest  

The VVSG should include standards that will assure all parties  
that security is of the highest concern in the process that guides  
certification.
