Realtime Clock

Definition

Each touchscreen DRE must have a realtime clock “capable of recording and documenting the total time polls are open in a precinct and capab le of documenting the opening and closing of polls.” N. M. Stat. Ann §1-9-4.1(B)(13). A r ealtime clock unfortunately allows the voting system to differentiate between a real electi on and pre- and post-elec tion testing and could hypothetically assist in vote manipulation.
