General Comments
Comment :  [The VVSG] Allows for a two year period after adoption by the EAC for implementation.
i. HAVA requires an accessible means of voting in all polling places by January, 2006.
ii. These guidelines may not be in affect until 2008.
iii. This will compel local election officials to procure equipment that may be, in practical terms, immediately obsolete.
