Comment : | * The VVSG contains numerous provisions that express lofty goals but are not made enforceable by measurable performance and test requirements. These provisions are essentially empty and meaningless. Some seemingly measurable performance provisions are so technically gweaselwordedh they serve as nothing but window dressing. The accuracy gtargeth and the availability requirement are examples. The VVSG also fails to correct some clearlyidentified issues that need to be addressed. Voting systems tested to this VVSG would be unreliable, insecure, and utterly untrustworthy for use in Federal, state, or local elections in the United States of America in the 21st Century.
