Comment : | It would be helpful if the VVSG expanded on the process used to evaluate minor changes. Currently, there is not an adequate process in place to allow for an expedited review of minor changes required to address changes in state law, changes required as the result of court rulings or minor bugs that are identified immediately prior to an election. It would be helpful if this section would explicitly define a process for the expedited review of minor modifications mandated for the successful conduct of an imminent election – even if there was simply a temporary waiver process or a short-term single-use certification for essential modifications. In any scenario, we believe modifications would be expected to be minor and reviewed by the appropriate voting system testing laboratory prior to the granting of such a waiver.
