I just got one of the newer xfinity remotes where the ok button has ridges
in it and the surrounding arrow keys are indented.  It is possible to vote
with one's money and I expect those with dyslexia are facing similar
problems.  One thing to keep in mind, Trump has to win the Electoral College
vote and failing that he does not become President.  The Electoral College
over-ruled the popular vote in 1984 and 2000 too.  Action happens November
19, 2016 on that front and January 6, 2017 before a joint session of
Congress the actual winners in that contest get announced.

affect the future of product accessibility?  Trump has publicly stated on
the record that he favors less government regulation.  Does this mean that
he will push to repeal the Telecommunications Accessibility Act of 2010 that
mandates that TV sets and cable boxes be made accessible to blind consumers?
Will manufacturers be permitted to introduce ever more inaccessible
electronic products and appliances because  Trumpand the Republican Congress
oppose governmental oversight and regulation? Trump has demonstrated his
disdain for the disabled by publicly mocking a disabled reporter without
apology.  Do we blind consumers now face the prospect of taking a giant leap
backwards in terms of product accessibility?  This is a really frightening
prospect.  Who is going to protect our interests?
