Safe public evidence boundaryReviewed 2026-07-21

For EVS 6.4.0.0, the EAC scope defines Regional Results as a separate application at a regional sending site, and Pro V&V tested transmission of DS200 result files through Regional Results over a VPN. The reviewed exact-version text does not establish that the DS200 itself was the VPN endpoint. Older federal and state records separately document a Unity 3.4.0.0 wireline SFTP reference design, a Michigan EVS 5.3.2.0 wireless-carrier and SFTP path, and optional DS200 cellular hardware families without proving EVS 6.4 certification, firmware, activation, or field use.

The module publishes roles, high-level paths, connection media when established, and evidence boundaries. It excludes IP addresses, credentials, VPN parameters, keys, APNs, SIM identifiers, carrier accounts, device identifiers, and jurisdiction routing details.

Pro V&V tested DS200 results transmitted by the separate Regional Results application through a VPN to the EMS. The source establishes the end-to-end result workflow but not a direct DS200 network session or the local handoff medium from the tabulator to the Regional Results client.

A successful VSTL system test is not evidence that a jurisdiction enabled Regional Results, used the same network design, or transmitted results in a particular election.

Not established

DS200-to-Regional Results handoff

The reviewed exact-version passages do not identify whether the local result handoff used removable media or another mechanism, and they do not establish the DS200 as the VPN endpoint.

The module leaves the local medium unresolved instead of drawing a direct network link.
