Comment : | While the VVSG does not appear to have been written with a telephone voting system in mind, it is crucial that when the VVSG is released that it not apply technical requirements that, while appropriate to other types of voting systems, are inapplicable to such marking devices. My examination, albeit cursory, of the VVSG revealed specific section that I believe can be referenced to address such a telephone voting system. For example, VVSG Section 1.7.4, lines 25-27 states "Among the categories defined in the VVSG are two typ~ of voting systems with respect to mechanisms to cast votes - Paper-Based Voting Systems and Direct Record Electronic Voting Systems."
