Comment : | RE: Appendix D (your comment form does not permit Section: Appendix D or Section: D-1 to be entered) It is inadequate for records to be merely "verifiable". Research has shown that fewer than 1/3 of voters verify their ballots in systems which require an extra verification step and that mistakes on the paper rolls are missed by voters. Voting systems must produce independent records of voter's ballots that are "verified" by the voter without adding steps that are optional.
