General Comments
Comment : | Comments to the EAC on the Proposed Voluntary Voting System Guidelines As Minnesota Secretary of State, and on behalf of the State of Minnesota, I wish to commend the hard work of everyone who has contributed to developing the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines (hereinafter, "VVSG"). I also want to commend the diligence exhibited by many concerned citizens, either as representatives of organizations or as individual citizens, in their comments on the VVSG. The standards for voting systems set out in the VVSG should assure the accessibility and transparency necessary for the American people to have greater trust in their voting systems. I have provided comments on areas of the VVSG that I believe could benefit from revision. My hope is that you will find my commentary helpful, and that it will serve to enhance these guidelines.
