Section :  6.5.2

Comment :  Comment:
The draft standard requires
that "voting systems that use
telecommunications … shall
implement an encryption
standard … and provide a
means to detect the presence
of an intrusive process…"

Recommended change:
This section should be
modified to place this
requirement only on those
telecommunications channels
that transmit official election
results.

Rationale:
Channels carrying unoffical
results do not need to be burdened with the requirements for official results.
