[Blindtlk] voting experience

[David Evans]

Dear Miss,

Was this a poll worker or just some other voter?
In any case, the Poll Captain should have been informed and the person told 
to stop the harassment or be arrested or ejected from the poll site.
There is, in general a 5 minute rule for voting, but this is waved and not 
enforced for the disabled.
The ADA states that all policies and procedures Will be modified or waved.
Here in Florida, we had 12 constitutional amendments and 3 Bills dealing 
with the retention of judges.  A very long ballot and if you had to read it 
all, it would take you over 20 minutes easy.
Other than a poll worker or someone you take into the voting station to help 
you mark your ballot, no one should be speaking to you, harassing you or 
telling you how you should vote.
It is illegal.
There is no "electioneering within 500 feet of the polls and those that do 
are subject to arrest, fine and even jail.
If you know this person's name, you can file a voting harassment complaint 
with the Supervisor of Elections in your County and the Office of Equal 
Opportunity.

Former member Governor's Select Task Force on Voting Access and The HAVA 
State Planning Committee.
