Comment :  E. ADDRESSING NETWORK VULNERABILITIES  

Long-term Goals:  

Networking capabilities included once security can be assured.

SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS:

Telecommunication  
Requirements:  
5.0 [Also 6.5.4 Telecommunications & Data]  

All sections that keep open the possibility that voting systems  
can be networked outside the polling place for data transmission or any other purpose must be eliminated from the 2005 Guidelines. Internet voting should be banned for the foreseeable  
future because of massive vulnerabilities that have no easy  
resolution.
