Comment : | A. THE HUMAN FACTORS CHALLENGE: USERS ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE VOTING SYSTEM 3. Defining The Accessibility Requirements Human Factors: 2.2.7.1.3 "For literate voters, the [Alternative Language Voting Station] shall provide printed or displayed instructions, messages, and ballots in their preferred language, consistent with state and Federal law." The general reference to state and federal law is too broad and at a minimum should incorporate requirements established by the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
