Comment :  Further, Volume 1, Section 6 Security, should offer strong caution against the use of telecommunications systems to transmit information related to critical components of voting systems before, during, or after an election. The section on security should address denial of service attacks, spoofing, viruses, worms, and power outages that exceed battery life of voting systems.
