Comment :  Part two of three Section 6.9

The unique identifier may be applied when the paper record is scanned
by a scanner equipped with an imprinter.  The unique identifier also
may be printed on the paper record when the record is initially
created.


6.9.1   The paper record interpretation function should be decoupled
from other voting system functions to facilitate auditing.


6.9.2   In paper ballot systems, it is desirable that the unique
       identifier is applied to the ballot when the ballot is
       scanned.

Discussion: This is intended to preserve voter anonymity, and
can be implemented by use of scanners with imprinters.  This=20
will not apply to VVPAT systems.
