Comment:
"Vendor documentation shall
include procedures for
returning a voting station to
correct operation after a voter
has used it incompletely or
incorrectly.."

Recommended change:
request that this be removed
from the standard.

Rationale:
This should be documentation
provided by the county, and not
by the vendor. For example,
Hart should not specify whether
or not the election official
should cancel, or cast the ballot
of a voter who failed to stay for
the verification process and
thus never actually cast their
ballot. These rules will vary
county by county.
