Comment : | The guidelines fail to require independent, accessible, voter-verified audit trails. If voters cannot confirm that their votes have been accurately recorded for post-election audits or recounts, there is no evidence available that can be used to prove the accuracy of an election. When an election yields an unexpected result, no one will ever know whether the outcome was accurate, or resulted from error or fraud.
