[CT-NFB] iPad Pro third generation

[Deb Reed]

I absolutely agree with you Nathanael. With already proven safety of electronic returns for absentee ballots, it just seems as though, some elected officials are choosing to stand against a change that would bring independence and privacy to so many when it comes to our elections. The work continues.

Sincerely,

Because we want full accessibility to ballots, including absentee ones, without needing to purchase equipment that we may not be able to, our advocacy for provisions for blind voters  in S. 1 The For The People Act remains important.  People who aren't blind don't need an IPad to vote!  And we as blind people shouldn't have to use one unless we make the choice to.
