Comment : | A. THE HUMAN FACTORS CHALLENGE: USERS ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE VOTING SYSTEM 3. Defining The Accessibility Requirements Human Factors: 2.2.7.2.2.4 "If the normal procedure is to have voters initialize the activation of the ballot, the Acc-VS shall provide features that enable voters who are blind to perform this activation."
