Comment : | Commissioners and Staff, The following are my efforts to contribute to improving the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines concerning the use of wireless technology in voting equipment. While I feel there has been an effort to revise and improve on the original version of the guidelines, I find the language to be so loosely written until, even if adopted by legislatures for use within their state, enforcement would be problematic. I have attempted to point out some of these below, and hope that the Commission will carefully review the standards and write them in an unambiguous manner, and in a manner that will preclude the use of wireless technology of any kind on Election Day.
