Hand Recounts of votes recorded on DREs

[Arthur Keller <ark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Currently, Washington State is engaged in a hand recount in the race
for governor.  Some of the counties in Washington State use DREs.
What specifications are there in the IEEE P1583 drafts for a standard
for extracting Cast Vote Records from each of the individual DREs,
including obtaining each of the various copies of each Cast Vote
Record on each of the DREs, in the absence of an AVVPAT for each DRE?
What support is there for auditing DREs in the absence of an AVVPAT
for each DRE?  It seems to me that there should be a requirement for
being able to extract all of the Cast Vote Records from each of the
DREs, including the various copies of each of these CVRs, in order to
support hand recounts.

Thanks.

Arthur
