EAC VVSG comment statistics, database in a more convenient format
I found the online form of the EAC VVSG comments to be inconvenient:
http://guidelines.kennesaw.edu/vvsg/view_section.asp?type=section
So I spent some time a month ago pulling 2470 VVSG comment records
from the EAC website.
A few summary statistics follow below.
I got all the valid responses to web requests for ids 0 thru 3000: a
few more than the 1700+374+358 = 2432 that they advertise. I wonder
which ones they didn't count? I didn't get the index pages to find
out which are missing - they use some silly javascript it seems.
If anyone would like a dump of this, I put it at
http://mcburnett.org/neal/elections/vvsg-comments.tgz
It is about 17 MB of data, all 2470 html files, at the moment. Much
of the redundant html could be trimmed.
It would be nice to have it out there in a more convenient way on the
web. E.g. with one page per organization? Or in a more
easily-searched database?

Most common line in the comments (at least the way lynx formatted
them....), which appeared 84 times:
I urge the EAC to reinstate the recommendation in resolution #13-05
which seems to come from this sort of comment:
On January 18, 2005 Professor Ron Rivest introduced a resolution
(#13-05) to require voter-verified paper trails at the TGDC meeting.
That resolution was voted down, by members of the committee who know
less about computer security than the person who introduced the
measure.
I urge the EAC to reinstate the recommendation in resolution #13-05
and require the essential safeguard of voter-verified paper records.
I further urge you:
-to reject wireless capability of any kind in our voting systems;
-to clarify terms used for VVPAT such that standards for
voter-verified paper ballots (e.g. optical scan) are not confused with
standards for voter-verified paper audit trails (e.g. printers on
DREs);
-to adopt Resolution #17-05 for more stringent testing of voting
systems for security; and
-to allow interoperability so that voting systems from different
vendors are able to work together more freely, saving taxpayer
resources.
