[MN-at-Large] Please Share Voting Experiences

[dandrews920 at comcast.net]

Dear Minnesota Federationists:

 

We in the National Federation of the Blind share a long history of
establishing and protecting the rights of the blind to cast an independent,
secret ballot. In Minnesota, Most recently, we successfully advocated for a
more accessible absentee voting system for the 2020 election.

 

During the primary elections last night, and for the elections last
November,  several Minnesotans at the opportunity to use a new device for
marking the ballot at the polling place. We have heard anecdotes about both
this device and interactions with poll workers, and we'd like to hear how it
went for you! Whether your experience was positive, neutral, or negative, we
would like to collect information for our future advocacy work.

Please take a few minutes to send a text or place a call to Corbb O'Connor,
a member of our legal and policy committee, at 703-309-4884, and share your
impressions of your experience. This might include how knowledgeable the
poll workers were about the ballot marking device, whether you were able to
cast an independent ballot successfully, or anything else you think may be
helpful. You may also email your experiences to him at webmaster at nfbmn.org
<mailto:webmaster at nfbmn.org> . If you hear of others who had recent voting
experiences with the new devices, please let us know and encourage them to
contact us. 

 

Best regards,

 

Steve Jacobson, President

National Federation of the Blind of Minnesota
