Comment : | Volume I Section 6, Page 25 Section 6.7 The definition used in paragraph two would incorporate laser-light such as that used in CD-ROM, CD-R and DVD devices. Presumably, that is not the intent of this section. A clarification/definition of the purpose of the wireless communication (to transmit result, set-up an election in a warehouse, etc) might be helpful. There is a significant difference in risk when discussing usage of wireless during the loading of ballot definitions, during the conduct of voting and during the transmission of unofficial results after voting has concluded and after paper reports of votes and vote tallies have been generated.
