Comment :  Human Factors: Volume 1, Section 2.2.7- Informal Gap Analysis    

In looking at the changes to section 2.2.7 we see a number of new and changed requirements.  

Section: 2.2.7.2.4, and 2.2.7.2.5.4.1    

Controls:  

The 2002 VSS did not stipulate that the voting system shall provide a mechanism to enable non-manual input that is functionally equivalent to tactile input. (The VVSG actually states this as a should and not a shall.)
