General Comments
Comment :  In addition to meaningless requirements, the draft VVSG is deficient in failing to correct known
problems with voting systems. These deficiencies include:

Failing to require that machines that encounter limits, such as storage or maximum counts,
stop accepting voting sessions and produce alarms, and requiring that limit behavior be tested. According to press reports, this behavior caused problems in several jurisdictions
in recent elections.
