The guidelines posted for electronic recording of votes seem to be quite
thorough, but I noticed that for machines that take a vote electronically
(as opposed to a paper-based marking mechanism) there is still no
requirement for a hard copy printout of a users' vote. Requiring accurate
recording in memory is all fine and good, but the only way to ensure
proper
recording and give assurance to the voter AT VOTING TIME, is to print out
a
permanent record of some kind that confirms the voters' vote. This way,
through an act of god or malice, if the memory of the persons' vote
becomes
corrupted, a permanent record is still available for recounting. Please
consider adding this revision to requirements for electronic vote taking
devices. | |
