| Comment : | I was disappointed in how vague and ineffective these standards are. We are talking about establishing standards
for protecting our democratic process, and we can't even bother to establish FAA-level or FDA-style
standards for our voting equipment. I was also deeply upset by the level of control the vendors had
over the process. The IEEE working group that did most of the heavy lifting was chaired by a vendor
employee. Reports from the meetings indicated that the committee members showed a great amount of
deference to existing systems, as opposed to creating the write standards.
In short, these standards were written to meet the products, and not the other way around.
