[blindlaw] Voter Registration forms not accessible to the blind.

[James Pepper]

The State of Washington's election officer who is in charge of all voting
for the state responded to an inquiry on the accessibility of the Voter
Registration form with the following statement in writing:
"Remember, too, that federal law requires that voters be able to vote
independently; the capability to complete registration applications
independently is a desirable goal, but not a legal requirement at this
time."

I thought they were required to make voter registration forms accessible to
the blind, in every major civil rights bill since the Voting Rights Act.
 Also the Election officer at the State of Arkansas said over the phone
that the blind can register to vote when they get their drivers licenses.
