Comment :  Section 6.8 - should have a mandatory requirement for a voter-verified paper ballot.  In case of any discrepancy between the paper ballot and an electronic  ballot, the voter-verified paper ballot shall be counted as the legal vote and shall take precedence over any and all other ballots (electronic or otherwise).

Voter verified paper ballots are the gold standard for democratic elections around the world.  It is imperative that we adhere to voter verified paper ballots to ensure the integrity of our elections.
