Comment :  With respect to the Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail ("VVPAT), it
is unclear whether the VVSG intents to require an "alternative language accessible
VVPAT" for voter verification purposes to apply to covered persons pursuant to the requirements established in section 203 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 as provided in
HAVA in section 30l(a). To be consistent with the Federal Iaw, the guidelines must provide that VVPAT "shall" provide for alternative language accessibility as provided
under HAVA.
