5.2.6c presently reads:
"The system shall be designed and configured such that it is not vulnerable to a single point of failure in the connection to the public network causing total 1055 of voting capabilities at any polling place."
This is a more stringent requirement than the reader may at first appreciate. A single DSL line or broadband cable can certainly be a "single point of failure". If this means that a polling place must have a minimum of two such lines, this fact should be explicitly called out in the text. As to cable, it is a shared medium and so, if the failure is at the cable, then having two cable modems making supposedly separate connections to the cable will be of no help.
