[il-talk] Primary Election Day

[Patti Chang]

Steve, I called early voting and registered a complaint offering to do
disability awareness training at the same time. The gentleman was great. The
phone is 312 263 1394. Anyone who had trouble should call.

I voted early last Friday, March 16.  The gentleman first handed me the form
to fill out.  I recounted my previous experiences voting early with the
Chicago Board of Elections.  I offered to show him my ID, since I obviously
voted out of my ward and precinct.  He initially refused to see the card and
fill out the form.  I asked him what other blind people do.  He replied that
they bring assistants.  I countered that the Help America Vote Act does not
have that requirement.  He then filled out the form, I signed it, he
returned with the correcting card corresponding to my ward, precinct,
Congressional and State Legislative Districts.  I then voted quietly, using
an accessible voting machine.

Cordially, Steve

Thank goodness for the board of elections. I have voted in the same precinct
since accessible voting equipment appeared on the  scene. Even now voting is
an adventure. I am more convinced than ever after this last election that
either the training is woefully inadequate, or those who serve as judges
simply don't pay attention to the training offered. 
I am keeping my fingers crossed for Tuesday.
