Comment : | It is not clear whether VVSG section 3 applies to the voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT), or any other verification system, as a part of the voting system. While arguably a printer could be considered part of a VVPAT system, other forms of verification couId be developed and purchased by the States within the next 24 month period. The Commission should clarify the scope of the Hardware Standards to ensure that any system of voter verification that maintains or produces any audit trail information must conform to the requirements of section 3031 (a) of HAVA, specificdly the disability accessibility and alternative language accessibility requirements.
