Comment : | 14. Section 6.5.4.3(e), Lines 3-4 (p. 23): Voting system vendors should be required to assist clients with responding to external threats immediately after the state approves the vendor's response. The proposed timeframe of "no later than one month before an election" may not allow sufficient time to address the threat and implement the necessary corrective measures. I suggest replacing "no later than one month before an election" with either "within 10 days of approval by the state" or "within the timeframe established by the state."
