This emphasizes the accessibility aspects of SAVIOC. It explains how blind
people have used SAVIOC, and indicates how SAVIOC could be adapted for such
extreme disabilities as total quadriplegia or combined blindness and deafness.

Workshop on Standards for Voting Equipment
Cambridge, Mass 2005 February
This is a PowerPoint presentation emphasizing how prescriptive standards can
block improvements that the standard-makers never imagined. A building code
specified 16" joist spacing. This prevented cheap builders from using flimsy
24" spacing, but also nearly prevented my father from using stronger 12" joist
spacing in the house he designed. As a more relevant example, a proposed
voting system standard specifies proportional fonts, whereas SAVIOC
necessarily uses a monospaced font. Does a trivial difference in readability
justify discarding an approach to voting that is more secure and trustworthy
than any other?
