Comment : | RE: Appendix D (your comment form does not permit Section: Appendix D or Section: D-1 to be entered) This lumps two entirely different types of voting systems together. Please differentiate between voting systems that record the ballot of record on a directly voter verified medium that are verified by the voter as the voter votes, such as optical scan systems, and voting systems that record ballots on mediums that the voter cannot verify directly and require the voter to take an extra step to optionally verify a paper record. To lump these vastly different systems together shows imprecise thinking on this issue.
