A more ambitious approach would be to first identify the criteria against which the standards can be judged - to more explicitly state what ``job they are supposed to be doing'' - and then to re-write the standards in order to better meet these criteria. We propose that a good starting point would be to consider the requirements that the standards should meet, and to orient this analysis towards alleviating the main problems that have arisen because such standards were not in place when many of the e-voting systems were first developed and adopted.
