Procedure and House Affairs committee  I think that can be improved upon and is workable. If you have, for example, a period of one hour on a Tuesday every week when you take these votes, you can assign windows of time, so that during these five minutes of that hour, X, Y and Z members can send their votes in. That's

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That is absolutely a concern, and that's why multiple layers of validation are important.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That is correct. However, keep in mind the aspect of a necessary second or third band of confirmation, which is not involved with the video system. This could be added as a way to validate it or make it good enough. You have to have that other validation.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  It does tend to help; however, the degradation in people's belief in the system being accurate, the very existence of the possibility that somebody could, even temporarily, be recorded in the wrong way tends to harm that system overall—

It's probably okay, but I would not translate anything that needs to be kept confidential over this platform or any other commercial generic offering o

Procedure and House Affairs committee  The plan I would have in place, and if you do not, you need to get it in place, is one to immediately mitigate the compromise. Don't necessarily turn everything off, because you can lose valuable forensics that way, but segment and mitigate it. Have defined roles ahead of time so

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Absolutely. In order to have that happen, the proxy person, or whoever, would have to physically be in the residence in order to have the IP address that it is sent from and known ahead of time to be received from. That validates, at least from a physical perspective, that where

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I would summarize it as a second band of confirmation, some sort of non-connected secondary confirmation method that is out of the original network.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  It may work. But over time, it will head south as far as integrity and belief in the system go. It will only degrade.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Absolutely. I steadfastly believe there is an undeclared world war, practically occurring as we speak, against democracy and everything that it stands for. So yes, there are lots of people, both for profit and for political ideology purposes, around the world actively, 24 hours a
