Comment : | 14. Vol. I, §6.5.5 ("Shared Operating Environment") appears to legalize "ballot recording and vote counting operations...performed in an environment that is shared with other data processing functions." It should go without saying that this creates severe and unnecessary security risks, even with rigorous use of appropriate precautions. The Guidelines should prohibit "shared operating environment[s]." Also, why is this section placed under the heading "telecommunications and data transmission?"
