Comment : | " … then the verification software shall use a FIPS 140-2 level 1 or higher validated cryptographic module." Comment: The requirement for FIPS 140-2 in I-6.4.6.3.2 will force the preponderance of existing voting devices into obsolescence. This is an extreme hardship for the jurisdictions that would be required to replace all such equipment.
