Comment : | Why the Removed Sections Do Not Make Wireless Suitable for Voting Equipment § 6.7.2.1.1 incorrectly attempts to cast the issue in terms of vendor documentation. Requiring the vendor to describe the justification for using wireless is not the same as actually justifying it. EAC and TGDC already have the necessary information and expertise, and the responsibility, to decide this question. We have today, and will continue to have, the technology to provide a physical communications medium that is observable by election workers and by legitimate, non-technical observers. Use of such technology must be made a fine, clear requirement - not left as an open issue to be resolved by the vendor's documentation.
