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.
