c. Finally, Vol. I, §3.4.3's definition of "failure" is too loose;
It defines it as:
1. Loss of one or more functions; or
2. Degradation of performance such that the device is unable to perform its intended function for longer than 10 seconds.
The Guidelines do not describe what kind of function can be lost during a failure. The standard governing failures that impact, in any way, the creation, preservation, or reporting of accurate totals, must be far stricter than the general failure standard - unless we are willing completely to forgo accurate elections. | |
