Comment : | RE: Appendix D (your comment form does not permit Section: Appendix D or Section: D-1 to be entered) Why "(albeit loosely)"? Optical scan voting systems most definitely "produce a record that the voter verifies directly with the voter's senses which is preserved for auditing or counting". Because optical scan ballots use a bar-code there are two records on the same ballot and the electronic counts can be verified "independently" of any insiders within the voting system.
