General Comments
Comment :  I don't have time to study and comment in detail. However, to the extent that the guidelines accept: private voting equipment, audits that must be paid for by candidates and only in very close elections, non-transparent and or very hard to access detailed precinct level election data, private exit polls, and partisan administration of elections that violate all known international election standards, no reforms of our current system will have the credibility and trust of the public - and for good reason!
