Groh Organization :   Election Systems & Software Post Date :   9/30/2005 Section Comments Section :   2.2.7.1.2.2.6 Page no. :   Line no.:   Comment :   "If the normal procedure includes VVPAT, the Acc-VS should provide features that enable voters who are blind to perform this verification.  If a state requires the paper record produced by the VVPAT to be the official ballot, then the Acc-VS shall provide features that enable visually impaired voters to review the paper record." Comment: Section I-2.2.7.1.2.2.6 requires VVPAT to provide verification to blind/visually impaired voters but section I-2.2.7.1.2.2.3.8 lists a preference for recorded speech over synthesized speech.  Verification of printed information on the VVPAT would seem to require synthesized speech.  These seem to be in conflict.
