| Section : | 6.8 | Page no. : | | Line no.: | | Comment : | I want to express my concern that any system that does not have a paper
trail cannot be properly secured. I believe that it is important that
these
mchines generate completed paper ballots in addition to the data, as the
data by itself will always be susceptible to error, regardless of
guidelines
and precautions. As an information technology professional, I see the
problems with these systems on a regular basis. With my experience as a
computer programmer, I am well aware of the pitfalls in a wholly digital
system. I have seen failures on the most robust backup system. I implore
you to add this provision to the current guidelines. | |
