[Ct-nfb] My experience voting

Fri Nov 11 00:12:50 UTC 2016

I'm with you in regardes t ogood experiences in regards t othe voting. As  mine was  very commical. As  all the disabled people who'd come to  my polling place  at the  Rowan Middle School on Highland Ave in Norwalk  had people assist them so they'd not used the equipment  until me. As they'd all had the training o nit and it was a good thing that I'd gone t othe deminstartion on it at my Town Hall as  I'd guided the mthrough on how to set it up and they'd couldn't find the  usb cord to the  to the printer and that age old joke how many  does it  take t o screw in a light bulb was how ti was like  reall ycommical, but it did get done and was able to vote  using the audio part with my own headphones that I carry wit hme always. which it was really good experience. So much better then the past  experiences of the phones  which was so horrific and useless how'd I'd felt about  that  system.

So now the corks have been worked out for next year and  with time  the equipment and ways will only get better  for us all.

Now we have to deal wit hbigger issues at hand as t o how and what  this new president is goingto be  towards us. Presiden't Obama's admistration was  pretty good to us  with his admistration. As Trump was very open in his campaign of making  negative comments towards the disabled so it leavea very open question in which we all should be asking.

Thank you 
Elizabeth

Hello All,

I had a very smooth experience.  Using the key pad with ear phones was
extremely user friendly and the moderator knew how to place the ballot in
the printer.

Well, guys, guess what!  I had a funny experience too.  I voted and a sheet
of paper came out of the printer.  My moderator, who is absolutely
wonderful, brought me over to the scanner and the paper kept shooting out.
Go to find out, because there was always paper in the printer with the old
phone system, the moderator forgot that she had to insert a ballot rather
than the paper.  I voted twice too!  She was so upset with herself and kept
apologizing profusely, but I was all right with it because it was the first
time this new system was implemented.  I laughed and in the end, so did she,
and now all's right with the world.

hooked up properly, and I had to vote a second time before I could print my
ballot.
