Comment :  The following line is found in the 1990 VSS:  "Voter confirmatin does not guarantee that the voter choices are correctly recorded and updated in memory registers (p. 141 section E-5 of the 1990 VSS).  This sentence needs to be re-inserted into the 2005 VSS.  Voters should not be misled into believing that VVPAT guarantees that their choices have been properly recorded by the machine.  VGVPAT must be hand countable and manually auditable to confirm machine counts.
