[Mdabs] NEW 2: More Urgent Action on Voting Needed Immediately

[nfbmd]

Hello all,

This is the second of two messages. We need to get our voting bills out of
committee. Please call or email the following delegates today March 18 or
tomorrow March 19. Ask them to vote in favor of the amended HB 565, a bill
that restore the secret ballot to disabled voters because it will require
everyone to use an electronic ballot marking device. The amendment gives the
State Board of Elections more time to solve the problem by changing the
implementation dates from the elections of 2022 to the elections of 2024.  

 

Everyone should email or call Delegate Anne Kaiser, Chairman of the House,
Ways, and Means committee. The phone number is either 410-841 plus extension
or 301-858 plus extension. The extension for Delegate Kaiser is 3036. The
email address for all delegates is firstname.lastname at house.state.md.us
<mailto:firstname.lastname at house.state.md.us> .

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows 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.
