Comment :  Section 2.2 states "All voting systems shall provide the following functional capabilities:  Security, Accuracy, Error recovery, Integrity, System Auditability, Election Management System; accessiblity; Vote tabulating; Ballot counters; and Data retention."  My comment is that in the case of catastrophic failure, DREs do not provide accuracy, error recovery, integrity, system auditability, or data retention.
