[il-talk] early voting

[Patti S Chang]

I went to vote early fairly near my home. I will be in Baltimore on election
day. The audible voting went well. There is an older gentleman who teaches
all the younger judges how to do it. But, I still had to deal with the one
older lady who knows better than I do what I need. Sensitivity training
might be good. Although she did talk to me this time rather than my husband.

that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future.
Every day we raise the expectations of blind people because low expectations
create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life
you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

I have never voted early and for now, I don't plan to. I have had problems
from time to time, some of which were of my own making. I am in a similar
situation to Sharon in that my voting place is only a block or so away.
Though I could certainly vote early and it might even have made things
easier for me, my feeling has always been that the Help America Vote Act
should be universal, not restricted to a few early voting sites. My poling
place has never been all that crouded. For these reasons, I choose to vote
on the day of the election. If I have to tie up two judges in order to vote
independently, my hope is that if these folks choose to judge again, they
will pay more attention to the training they get on how to use the audible
feature on our machines.

Early voted in early October. Within a few days of it starting up. I figured
get it done now then I'm not thinking about it on the day that it will be
very crowded at the polling place.
