In hardware and software components, referenced vote by mail in accessible devices. Some new/added links: - Other Open Source Voting Projects and Research: - pvote, votebox projects - research papers on user interfaces - OSET TrustTheVote VoteStream election results prototype - Usenix paper on OVC describing COTS-based voting system - California Election Laws and Regulations section Proposed new Possible First Components topics: +6. Ballot Batch Management (Software) +7. Audit Support (Software) [See descriptions in the diffs. Ballot batch management is just something that needs to be thought out to support the scanner and totaler. If the first steps are used as an audit, then some supporting sotware might be needed (could be Colorado-RLA).] - noted possible use with accessible vote-by-mail of open picture interpreter to verify home-scanned ballots. - added explicit computer-readable outputs produced by results reporters. - added notes to ballot picture interpreter: use case for remote accessible vote by mail. Added requirements to identify extraneous and ambiguous marks requiring adjudication. Added note to be able to scan header/footer marking pages enclosing a ballot batch.
