Comment : | I’m concerned that these guidelines – just like those issued in 1990 and 2002 – do not go far enough. The main problem with these guidelines is that they don't require voting machines to produce a voter-verified paper trail. That means that voters still would be unable to verify something as simple as the fact that their vote was properly cast. To improve on the problems of 2004, voting machines simply must be required to produce a paper trail.
