General Comments
Comment :  Another area is interoperability – the ability of equipment from different vendors to work together. For example, it should be possible to use a ballot marking device from one vendor with an
optical scan system by another vendor. Right now, the requirement that whole systems be certified may allow one vendor to sabotage the use of another vendor’s equipment, if the first vendor does not cooperate with the certification process.
