Comment : | [Volume 1, Appendix D, 1.2.1] Although this type of system may be more secure, it will be less usable to a voter. After the voter has waited in line, the voter needs to stop at three stations, first to check in with a poll worker and get a token, then move to the system where the actual choices are made, and finally to the station that allows for verification and recording of choices. Election officials need to weigh usability and security when selecting the split process architecture.
