Comment : | 2. The Guidelines focus almost exclusively on computer-aided voting systems (hereafter "e-voting systems"), and particularly DREs. But some jurisdictions may wish to retain their existing non-DRE voting systems, and others may wish to adopt precinct-based handcounted paper systems to sidestep the transparency and security shortcomings inherent in evoting. Where is the guidance for jurisdictions that make these choices? Why do the Guidelines implicitly promote the idea that DREs are jurisdictions' only appropriate choice?
