| Section : | 3.2.2.8 | Page no. : | | Line no.: | | Comment : | Another important factor to consider is a stronger section 3.2.2.8 Electrostatic Disruption (ESD) under guidance regarding Hardware. The effects of ESD can be devastating to the operation of electrical equipment. The recommendations to states should reflect the humidity and other conditions in which voting systems will operate. The current recommendations for ESD reflect conditions of less than twenty-five percent humidity, which is unrealistic for many regions of the nation. States should be directed to use a sliding scale for conditions, where machines will be used that may pose a threat of ESD.
