Comment : | The last sentence of this section is design and should be avoided. For example, when the system contains lazy replication of vote data to a central consolidating device in the polling place or at central count, it is clear that verification of vote arrival cannot occur prior to a vote being cast, as this introduces a single point of failure in the polling place. We recommend that the language of this section be changed to reflect the fact that the verification be performed if possible such that it does not introduce a single point of failure in the polling place.
