Comment : | However, fortunately, there are numerous guidelines in sec 6.8 concerning what voting machines that miraculously DO happen to go beyond guideline requirements by providing paper trails, should be like, and I largely agree with them. But 6.8.7.5 is a silly completely undefined requirement. Here would be an improvement: "the (paper) record should withstand 5 hours exposure to 150C and -50C temperatures, exposure to direct Florida sunlight in an air atmosphere for 1 year, or soaking in water for 1 week followed by careful drying. It should withstand a 2 Tesla orientation-changing magnetic field for 1 minute."
