Comment :  MEANINGLESS REQUIREMENTS AND OTHER VVSG DEFICIENCIES
There are numerous unenforced or otherwise meaningless requirements in the VVSG. Some of them include:

œ Provisions in Volume I, Section 2.2.2 Given the failure of the VVSG to properly protect
against the effects of ESD, discussed above, the claim in Volume I, Section 2.2.2 that
voting systems design should provide gthe highest possible levels of protectionh against
factors impacting system accuracy is clearly false and misleading.
