For reasons cited above, this requirement produces no security and is in fact
probably impossible for systems that are ballot marking systems and not DRE
systems. Many feel that a voter’s confidence is enhanced when the voter can
handle a ballot and place it in a ballot box. We recommend that the
requirement be made clear to apply to DRE and not ballot marking systems.
