Comment : | RE: Appendix D (your comment form does not permit Section: Appendix D or Section: D-1 to be entered) What prevents the hands, clothing or hair of the voter from being caught in the picture and possibly revealing the voters' identity? What prevents the video records of ballots from being preserved in the same sequential order that the voters enter the voting booths and so revealing voter's identity? Wouldn't this system add unnecessary complexity and expense and add another failure point? How would we know that the video image is not manipulated by the voting system? Is this system bought from a different vendor? If so, does this system assume that two technicians or programmers at the two companies do not conspire together?
