Hello Everyone,<div> I also did the early voting. I had to go to the Municipal Center. The polling place was set up in a conference room on the main floor. When I arrived they escorted me to the table where the phone was set up. After my ballot printed, like Mary, I folded it and placed it in an envelope, signed it, and then I was led to the ballot box where I put it a second envelope sealed it and placed it in the box. I never felt my privacy was violated. Everything was done very well. <br><br><br><div class="yahoo-signature">Sincerely,<div> Becky Ireland</div><div><br></div><div>Secretary of The NFB of CT</div><div>Secretary/Treasurer of CTGDU </div><div>rmirdi@aol.com</div><div>Cell: 860-384-8451</div><div>“Whenever we are impressed with what a non-human animal does its simply because weunderestimated its intelligence.” - Neil deGrasse Tyson</div></div><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(132, 115, 255); padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">On Friday, October 25, 2024, 8:01 AM, ct-nfb-request@nfbnet.org <ct-nfb-request@nfbnet.org> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div dir="ltr">Send CT-NFB mailing list submissions to<br></div><div dir="ltr"> <a ymailto="mailto:ct-nfb@nfbnet.org" href="mailto:ct-nfb@nfbnet.org">ct-nfb@nfbnet.org</a><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br></div><div dir="ltr"> <a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/ct-nfb_nfbnet.org" target="_blank">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/ct-nfb_nfbnet.org</a><br></div><div dir="ltr">or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br></div><div dir="ltr"> <a ymailto="mailto:ct-nfb-request@nfbnet.org" href="mailto:ct-nfb-request@nfbnet.org">ct-nfb-request@nfbnet.org</a><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">You can reach the person managing the list at<br></div><div dir="ltr"> <a ymailto="mailto:ct-nfb-owner@nfbnet.org" href="mailto:ct-nfb-owner@nfbnet.org">ct-nfb-owner@nfbnet.org</a><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br></div><div dir="ltr">than "Re: Contents of CT-NFB digest..."<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Today's Topics:<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"> 1.

The ONLY polling place was at Town<br></div><div dir="ltr">Hall, as in many other towns.<br></div><div dir="ltr">The auditorium served as the polling site. From the entrance and through<br></div><div dir="ltr">the building, signage was clear.<br></div><div dir="ltr">Once inside, everything was set up appropriately to ensure privacy for<br></div><div dir="ltr">ALL voters. I was escorted to the accessible voting area, where everything<br></div><div dir="ltr">was set up and ready. Whe my ballot came out of the printer, I was given<br></div><div dir="ltr">an official envelope to sign, date and seal myself. We then walked<br></div><div dir="ltr">over to the table where I was given another envelope to enclose the first<br></div><div dir="ltr">envelope which contained my marked ballot. My name was again checked off<br></div><div dir="ltr">on the list that I had indeed voted. ALL of the ballots will be stored<br></div><div dir="ltr">securely in the vault and will not be opened or counted until Election Day<br></div><div dir="ltr">on November 5th. The moderator made sure I had what I needed and took me<br></div><div dir="ltr">through a few procedural steps which were used for this one central site<br></div><div dir="ltr">for early voting. It was a smooth, efficient , dignified and very<br></div><div dir="ltr">pleasant experience.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Because of the referendum in last year's election, we were able to vote<br></div><div dir="ltr">early this year. There was an even and steady flow of voters. This was<br></div><div dir="ltr">MUCH LESS stressful than having to stand in line in a crowd, waiting to<br></div><div dir="ltr">vote on one day.<br></div><div dir="ltr">This year, the referendum asks us to vote yes or no for "NO EXCUSE"<br></div><div dir="ltr">absentee voting. As you all know, NFB is working hard to allow electronic<br></div><div dir="ltr">ballot marking for both absentee ballot delivery and return.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Yes, the wheels of government and bureaucracy move slowly but they do MOVE.<br></div><div dir="ltr">Try early voting and see how you like it.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Mary Silverberg<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Oct 24, 2024 at 5:55?PM carole612 carole612 via CT-NFB <<br></div><div dir="ltr"><a ymailto="mailto:ct-nfb@nfbnet.org" href="mailto:ct-nfb@nfbnet.org">ct-nfb@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">> I did an absentee ballot so cannot comment on early voting<br></div><div dir="ltr">> Sent from my iPhone<br></div><div dir="ltr">><br></div><div dir="ltr">> On Oct 24, 2024, at 5:01?PM, Deb Reed via CT-NFB <<a ymailto="mailto:ct-nfb@nfbnet.org" href="mailto:ct-nfb@nfbnet.org">ct-nfb@nfbnet.org</a>><br></div><div dir="ltr">> wrote:<br></div><div dir="ltr">><br></div><div dir="ltr">> ?As you may know the coming presidential election early voting started on<br></div><div dir="ltr">> 21 November and goes through November 3.
