Comment : | regarding appendix D: Please do not rely solely on machines for something so important as our COUNTRY election! They can be hacked, pre-set, manipulated, break down, malfunction. Only randomly selected Voter Verified Paper Ballots with a 5% recount can ASSURE our votes. And for the same reasons, in a dispute a PAPER count should be used to decide the outcome of the election. We cannot rely on the machines, or unfortunately, trust those who operate and own them. To put that much trust in the hands of a few is a foolish thing to do. thank you.
