Comment : | 97 App D D-13 22 Allows the voter to reject his/her ballot at the verification station. How is the voter enabled to cast another ballot? Procedurally? The capture station has no knowledge of the rejection so it records can no longer be used for any official purpose. While this may make a case for a one-toone relationship between records, the system is back to a single repository for official records and the verification station could easily be comprised to reject additional ballots, corrupting the election results. This is a case where the records are correct but the results are false.
