The EAC will accredit laboratories which can do certification testing. If the EAC revokes, terminates, or suspends the accreditation of a laboratory, or has "credible evidence of significant security failures" at a lab, the EAC shall notify Congress, the chief State election official of each State, and the public.[52]
Wrong!
Full payment for testing only upon completion of tests can prevent small labs from doing this work.
It is unclear what purpose is served by secrecy regarding which lab is testing which product.
The EAC has to provide notification of evidence of security failures only if, in the EAC's discretion and judgment, the evidence is "credible" and the failure is "significant."
Solution
The law should require partial payment to small labs at milestones in testing.
The law should require the EAC to post notification on its web site of any evidence of security failures, because the credibility and significance often can be evaluated only in hindsight after patterns become clear.
16. Absentee Voting
States shall permit any persons to vote by absentee, and process their ballots as absentee ballots under State law, starting 1/1/08.[71]
Wrong!
Whether or not to implement "no-fault" absentee voting is a decision that each state should make, and this decision should not be imposed by federal law.
No-fault absentee voting may increase the number of ballots that are not included in the election-night tallies and that are counted much later than on election day.
Extra security precautions and citizen observers would be needed to provide security for increased numbers of absentee ballots, which historically have been a favored target for various types of fraud.
Solution
Federal law should leave the decision to implement no-fault absentee voting to the states. This section should be eliminated.
