Section :  2.2.7
Page no. :  2-10
Line no.:  44
Comment :  Recognizing such practical limitations, we request that Item 3, of Section 2.2.7
(Human Factors) on Page 2-10 Line 44 be strengthened. We quote the
section with our suggested new wording highlighted: “The voting process shall preclude anyone else from determining the content of a
voter's ballot, without the voter's cooperation. If such a determination is made
against the wishes of the voter, then his or her privacy has been violated. Privacy
sleeves or other means useful for voters are acceptable. There may be a small
number of voters whose disabilities are so severe that they will need personal
assistance1.
