Comment : | If It's Plugged In, Assume It Could Be On §6.7.2.7 provides: If a voting system includes wireless capabilities, then the system shall not activate the wireless capabilities without confirmation from a voting official. This requirement begs the question of how the voting official, or a voter, or anyone else in the polling place would know if it were violated. As noted above, even the required visual indicator is unlikely to protect against the interface being active "without confirmation". To Put It Simply ... Make it completely obvious that nothing's going in or out of the ballot box when it shouldn't.
