| Comment : | Without transparency,openness, and verifiability no election is certain...
Dear EAC:
Working on the issues of elections for over a year, I am compelled to
write on behalf of many who want the following guidelines enforced in an
election:
1. Open and transparent elections:
a. Machines should have open standards and software, no proprietary
information.
b. The public should have immediate access to all processes of an
election, able to monitor them unobstructed.
2. Auditable Elections and Verifiable Votes
a. Every vote should have a paper trail because without one there
is no way to audit an election.
b. Mandatory audits after every election with statistically
significant sampling of all machine types.
Sincerely,
Michael David Melio
