[nabs-l] Convention in Orlando for 5 Years

[Kirt Manwaring]

I, for one, am thrilled we'll be in Orlando for a while.  The hotels
were nice (I was in the Centre and moved over to the Shingle Creek
mid-week and I quite enjoyed them both), and this probably means we'll
get some killer room rates.  Doesn't really sound all that insane or
crazy to me or my pocket book.  *grin*
  Best,
Kirt

>>>
>>> ?In Michigan, voters with disabilities face
>>>  obstacles at voting
>>> ?locations often because their polling place
>>>  lacks physical
>>> ?accessibility.?The Help America
>>> ?Vote Act (HAVA) acknowledged the unique
>>>  obstacles faced by
>>>  voters
>>> ?with disabilities and authorized funding for the
>>>  federally
>>> ?mandated Protection and Advocacy
>>> ?Voting Access programs (PAVA) to help remove
>>>  barriers.
>>> ?Unfortunately, this vital mandate has been
>>>  targeted for
>>> ?elimination in the President? proposed
>>> ?2012 budget.
>>>
>>> ?HAVA charged Michigan Protection and Advocacy
>>>  Service, (MPAS),
>>> ?and other Protection & Advocacy agencies
>>>  with helping to ensure
>>> ?the full participation of
>>> ?individuals with disabilities in the electoral
>>>  process,
>>>  including
>>> ?registering to vote, casting a ballot, and
>>>  accessing polling
>>> ?places.
>>>
>>> ?The PAVA program at MPAS is designed to ensure
>>>  that every
>>> ?eligible Michigan resident receives equal access
>>>  to their
>>>  polling
>>> ?location and has the opportunity
>>> ?to cast an independent secret ballot.?MPAS
>>>  staff members are on
>>> ?the ground providing advice, technical
>>>  assistance, and training
>>> ?to election officials about
>>> ?voting accessibility across the spectrum of
>>>  disabilities.?The
>>> ?agency also provides outreach and training to
>>>  voters with
>>> ?disabilities, poll workers, and
>>> ?service providers.?MPAS and the Secretary
>>>  of State of Michigan
>>> ?partnered over the past six years working toward
>>>  this goal,
>>>  which
>>> ?has been effective in
>>> ?increasing physical access to polling locations
>>>  throughout
>>> ?Michigan.
>>>
>>> ?Voting is a fundamental right protected by the
>>>  United States
>>> ?Constitution, upheld by the Supreme Court and
>>>  subject to intense
>>> ?public scrutiny each election
>>> ?cycle.?Provisions within these protections
>>>  prohibit
>>> ?discrimination against people with disabilities
>>>  in the electoral
>>> ?process.?Exercising their Constitutional
>>> ?right, however, has continued to be a challenge
>>>  for individuals
>>> ?with disabilities despite changes made to
>>>  federal and state laws
>>> ?intended to ensure full
>>> ?participation.
>>>
>>> ?Key Summary
>>>
>>> ???젨잻isability advocates
>>>  have visited 95% (3,457) and
>>> ?reviewed the exterior of polling locations in
>>>  Michigan.
>>>
>>> ???젨쟖pon initial review,
>>>  Michigan Protection and Advocacy
>>> ?Service found that only 75% of 3,457 Michigan
>>>  polling places
>>>  were
>>> ?compliant under the Americans
>>> ?with Disabilities Act.
>>>
>>> ???젨잸fter working with
>>>  state and local officials, it is
>>> ?anticipated that Michigan? accessibility rate
>>>  will be increased
>>> ?to 90% in 2012.
>>>
>>> ???젨쟏f the locations that
>>>  were inaccessible, 60% had one
>>> ?barrier, 30% had two types of barriers, and 6%
>>>  had three or more
>>> ?types of barriers.
>>>
>>> ???젨쟏nly six of the 84
>>>  counties in Michigan were 100%
>>> ?physically accessible upon initial visit.
>>>
>>> ???젨쟋PAS continues to
>>>  receive complaints regarding the
>>> ?AutoMARK, Michigan? accessible ballot marking
>>>  device.
>>>
>>> ?Michigan has made great strides toward
>>>  accessibility at the
>>> ?polls.?This report will highlight the
>>>  steps taken to ensure
>>>  that
>>> ?all polling locations throughout
>>> ?Michigan are accessible to voters with
>>>  disabilities.?In
>>> ?addition, the report will offer recommendations
>>>  for Michigan to
>>> ?achieve and maintain an accessibility
>>> ?rate of 100%.
>>>
>>> ?2010 Mid Term Report
>>>
>>> ?Acknowledging widespread irregularity throughout
>>>  the country,
>>> ?Congress passed the Help America Vote Act (HAVA)
>>>  in 2002.?HAVA
>>> ?included sweeping legislation
>>> ?intended to modernize the electoral system for
>>>  all voters,
>>> ?including those with disabilities.?The
>>>  Help America Vote Act
>>> ?reinforced the application of
>>> ?Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act
>>>  and Section 504
>>> ?of the Rehabilitation Act.?Furthermore, in
>>>  2004, Michigan
>>> ?lawmakers amended Michigan election
>>> ?law (Public Act 92 of 2004) to require the
>>>  removal of physical
>>> ?barriers at polling locations.?
>>>  Irrespective of both federal and
>>> ?state law, 25% of Michigan's
>>> ?voting locations continued to be inaccessible
>>>  for the November
>>> ?2010 general election.?To achieve an
>>>  all-encompassing voting
>>> ?standard for the fifty states,
>>> ?HAVA included two key components for the
>>>  disability community:
>>>
>>> ???젨잸ll polling places
>>>  must have at least one voting system
>>> ?which allows all citizens to cast a ballot
>>>  privately and
>>> ?independently, whether or not one
>>> ?has a disability.
>>>
>>> ???젨쟔tates must ensure
>>>  accessibility at all public polling
>>> ?places in a manner compliant with the Americans
>>>  with
>>>  Disabilities
>>> ?Act (ADA).
>>>
>>> ?Accessible Voting System
>>>
>>> ?In 2004, the disability community and the
>>>  Michigan Secretary of
>>> ?State? Bureau of Elections (BOE) carefully
>>>  assessing which
>>> ?accessible device would best
>>> ?fit the needs of Michigan voters, and in 2006
>>>  selected the
>>> ?AutoMARK.?The AutoMARK is an accessible
>>>  ballot marking device
>>> ?that can be used by all voters
>>> ?with or without disabilities.
>>>
>>> ?Although every polling location is equipped with
>>>  the AutoMARK,
>>> ?each municipality is responsible for making sure
>>>  it is set up
>>>  and
>>> ?operating properly.?Unfortunately,
>>> ?MPAS continues to receive complaints about the
>>>  AutoMARK.?Voter
>>> ?complaints have included the following:?
>>>  the AutoMARK was boxed
>>> ?up on Election Day, unplugged,
>>> ?jammed up, turned off, or set up so other voters
>>>  could see the
>>> ??ecret?ballot.?Complaints concerning
>>>  jammed ballots have been
>>> ?greatly reduced since the
>>> ?last round of updates were completed.?
>>>  Because the AutoMARK is
>>> ?used only on Election Day, MPAS relies on voter
>>>  feedback to
>>> ?correct these kinds of problems.
>>> ?MPAS continues to monitor and respond to
>>>  complaints as they
>>> ?arise.
>>>
>>> ?Accessible Polling Places
>>>
>>> ?Under HAVA, the federal government allocated
>>>  money to assist
>>>  with
>>> ?the purchase of accessible equipment like the
>>>  AutoMARK, but also
>>> ?to help municipalities
>>> ?make their polling places physically
>>>  accessible.?Congress
>>> ?recognized that in order for people to use the
>>>  accessible voting
>>> ?machines, the building must
>>> ?also be accessible so voters can access the
>>>  polling location and
>>> ?voting equipment.?It is the local election
>>>  officials?
>>> ?responsibility to make sure all
>>> ?polling locations are accessible on Election
>>>  Day.?To help cover
>>> ?the expense for removing barriers at polling
>>>  locations, the
>>> ?Michigan BOE administers a
>>> ?grant program called Access for All, under the
>>>  U.S.?Department
>>> ?of Health and Human Services with funding
>>>  allocated through
>>>  HAVA,
>>> ?to help the state comply
>>> ?with HAVA.?In most circumstances, the
>>>  Access for All grants
>>> ?cover all costs associated with accessibility
>>>  upgrades for
>>> ?polling locations.
>>>
>>> ?When Michigan? State Plan to implement
>>>  provisions under HAVA
>>>  was
>>> ?initiated in 2004, municipal clerks were
>>>  required to complete an
>>> ?accessibility checklist
>>> ?to determine whether or not their locations were
>>>  accessible.
>>> ?This was one of the state? first attempts to
>>>  gather information
>>> ?on Michigan? polling place
>>> ?accessibility.?During this time, MPAS and
>>>  other organizations
>>> ?were working closely with individual election
>>>  officials on
>>> ?polling location reviews and
>>> ?were also training the municipal clerks on the
>>>  accessibility
>>> ?requirements.?MPAS also spent a
>>>  considerable amount of time
>>> ?assisting clerks with assessing
>>> ?the accessibility of their polling locations and
>>>  helping them
>>> ?apply for Access for All grant money.?MPAS
>>>  found that the
>>> ?accessibility data provided by
>>> ?clerks was not, in certain instances, wholly
>>>  reliable.
>>>
>>> ?MPAS brought this to the Bureau of Election?
>>>  (BOE) attention
>>>  and
>>> ?shared independent accessibility reviews with
>>>  them.?The BOE has
>>> ?since increased efforts
>>> ?to ensure the accuracy of reporting by improving
>>>  communication
>>> ?and requiring additional documentation from the
>>>  clerks.
>>>
>>> ?In 2008, MPAS started to assess municipal
>>>  polling locations
>>> ?randomly, without notifying the election
>>>  official in advance.
>>> ?After compiling this data on
>>> ?polling locations statewide, the systemic issue
>>>  of
>>> ?inaccessibility became a heightened
>>>  concern.?Once these
>>>  concerns
>>> ?were communicated to the Bureau of
>>> ?Elections, they backed a new initiative in 2010
>>>  dramatically
>>> ?increasing their involvement in the advancement
>>>  of polling place
>>> ?accessibility.
>>>
>>> ?This same year, the federal government began
>>>  reviewing how the
>>> ?states were spending HAVA funds.?This
>>>  fueled speculation that
>>> ?the federal government would
>>> ?eliminate the monies available under HAVA, since
>>>  some states had
>>> ?not spent their money, rather placing it in an
>>>  account and
>>> ?allowing the funds to gain
>>> ?interest.?Concerned that Congress would
>>>  pull the allocated
>>>  funds
>>> ?completely, which would prevent municipalities
>>>  from accessing
>>> ?money to make polling places
>>> ?accessible, MPAS, along with the Michigan Bureau
>>>  of Elections,
>>> ?embarked on a project to ensure 100%
>>>  accessibility at all
>>> ?Michigan polling places.
>>>
>>> ?Michigan? Polling Place Accessibility Project
>>>
>>> ?In 2010, Michigan started building the framework
>>>  of a statewide
>>> ?plan to reach 100% polling place
>>>  accessibility.?MPAS and the
>>> ?Bureau of Elections strengthened
>>> ?their partnership in order to achieve this
>>>  goal.?Within this
>>> ?plan, MPAS would review the exterior of all
>>>  locations throughout
>>> ?the state.?Michigan has
>>> ?approximately 3,600 polling places in
>>>  total.?MPAS had already
>>> ?gathered information on 530 polling places prior
>>>  to 2010,
>>> ?therefore, did not revisit those
>>> ?locations (some were initially accessible and
>>>  others MPAS worked
>>> ?closely with clerks to improve
>>>  accessibility.?MPAS is still
>>> ?working with clerks to bring
>>> ?the remaining 57 of the 530 polling locations
>>>  into compliance).
>>> ?MPAS was able to visit the remaining 2,927
>>>  polling locations in
>>> ?2010.
>>>
>>> ?Overall, MPAS conducted on-site reviews of at
>>>  least 95% of the
>>> ?polling places in Michigan.
>>>
>>> ?The on-site reviews conducted in 2010, exposed
>>>  nearly 25% of the
>>> ?polling places that remained physically
>>>  inaccessible as required
>>> ?by the Americans with
>>> ?Disabilities Accessibility Guidelines.
>>>
>>> ?Of the 3,457 polling locations noted above,
>>>  2,927 were assessed
>>> ?between May-August 2010.?Using the ADAAG
>>>  as a benchmark to
>>> ?determine physical accessibility,
>>> ?over 800 polling locations within the 2,927
>>>  locations visited,
>>> ?had physical barriers failing to comply with the
>>>  ADAAG ?
>>>  barriers
>>> ?that create potential
>>> ?difficulties to voters with disabilities on
>>>  Election Day.
>>>
>>> ?Barriers can prevent people with disabilities
>>>  from fully
>>> ?participating in all aspects of society because
>>>  of their
>>> ?disability.?This might include
>>>  architectural
>>> ?barriers, physical barriers, communication
>>>  barriers, attitudinal
>>> ?barriers, cultural barriers, etc.?
>>>  Throughout this project,
>>>  MPAS?
>>> ?reviews focused primarily
>>> ?on physical and external barriers, which are
>>>  defined as
>>>  something
>>> ?material that blocks passage.?Physical
>>>  barriers addressed in
>>> ?this report include objects
>>> ?in the environment such as inaccessible doors or
>>>  doorways,
>>> ?inaccessible elevators or lack thereof,
>>>  inaccessible door
>>> ?hardware, inaccessible parking, etc.
>>>
>>> ?Among the 2,927 polling locations visited in
>>>  2010, 28% did not
>>> ?meet accessibility standards.?Based on
>>>  discussions with the BOE
>>> ?in 2008, when MPAS completed
>>> ?the unannounced visits, clerks were not only
>>>  notified with a
>>> ?letter from MPAS concerning accessibility, but
>>>  they were also
>>> ?notified by the Bureau of Elections.
>>> ?MPAS and the BOE required prompt reply about the
>>>  municipalities
>>> ?plans to meet ADA requirements.?The
>>>  letters contained a
>>> ?photograph of the problem area(s),
>>> ?along with the appropriate ADAAG citation.?
>>>  Within a five month
>>> ?period, letters were sent to over 440
>>>  municipalities concerning
>>> ?approximately 800 polling
>>> ?locations.
>>>
>>> ?As shown below, 28% of the polling places
>>>  visited in 2010 had
>>> ?some type of physical barrier present at the
>>>  time of review.
>>>
>>> ?The following chart highlights the most common
>>>  number of
>>>  physical
>>> ?barriers discovered at each location.
>>>
>>> ?A majority of the locations reviewed had only
>>>  one physical
>>> ?barrier present.?While the largest and
>>>  most frequent problem
>>>  was
>>> ?related to parking, the types
>>> ?of barriers at each location varied as shown in
>>>  the following
>>> ?chart.
>>>
>>> ?Text Box: Parking Signs: locations that had
>>>  accessible parking
>>> ?but no signs posted?Parking:?
>>>  locations that had no parking
>>> ?designated or noncompliant access
>>> ?aisles?Pathway:?barriers that
>>>  existed between access aisles
>>>  and
>>> ?entryway?Entrance:?problems such as
>>>  door width, door
>>> ?thresholds, door hardware, vestibules,
>>> ?etc.?Ramps/Curbs: problems with curb cuts,
>>>  ramps, handrails,
>>> ?thresholds greater than 1 inch, etc.
>>>
>>> ?Communicating Accessibility Problems with
>>>  Election Officials
>>>
>>> ?After completing the on-site reviews, MPAS
>>>  notified municipal
>>> ?clerks of locations where barriers were
>>>  discovered.?Within a
>>> ?four-month period, over 440
>>> ?letters were sent to election officials.?
>>>  By the end of 2010,
>>>  88%
>>> ?of those clerks responded back to MPAS with a
>>>  plan of
>>>  correction.
>>> ?In addition, MPAS
>>> ?provided technical assistance to the election
>>>  officials on how
>>>  to
>>> ?improve access to their polling location in
>>>  order to come into
>>> ?compliance.젨잹ased on
>>> ?the responses received from clerks, 43% informed
>>>  us they were
>>> ?would make the changes required; 31% corrected
>>>  the barriers at
>>> ?the polling locations; 9%
>>> ?were going to apply for Access for All grant;
>>>  and the remaining
>>> ?responses varied from clerk using temporary
>>>  equipment.
>>>
>>> ?When a clerk informed MAPS that the work was
>>>  completed, MPAS
>>> ?required documentation from each clerk proving
>>>  or stating that
>>> ?the work had been completed,
>>> ?including photographs and/or copies of purchase
>>>  orders.?A
>>> ?majority of the clerks responded either with a
>>>  plan of
>>>  correction
>>> ?for spring 2011 or with a
>>> ?statement that the work was completed.?
>>>  MPAS is still waiting
>>>  for
>>> ?some clerks to confirm that the work was done
>>>  sufficiently.
>>>  Once
>>> ?the removal of barriers
>>> ?at these locations has been verified, MPAS
>>>  expects Michigan?
>>> ?polling place accessibility rate to rise to
>>>  nearly 90 % ?--
>>> ?one of the highest in the nation.
>>> ?There remains, however, substantial work to be
>>>  completed in the
>>> ?city of Detroit in order to reach this
>>>  goal.?The remaining 12%
>>> ?of clerks, who did not respond
>>> ?to MPAS or the Bureau of Election with a plan of
>>>  correction,
>>>  will
>>> ?become a 2011 priority in order to attain 100%
>>>  accessibility.
>>>
>>> ?NEXT STEPS
>>>
>>> ?While the focus of this report has been on
>>>  reaching the 90%
>>> ?accessibility rate, there would still be
>>>  approximately 10% of
>>> ?polling locations in Michigan
>>> ?that are not accessible to all voters.?
>>>  Some clerks disagree
>>>  with
>>> ?the findings and MPAS is working with those
>>>  clerks.
>>>
>>> ?In 2011, MPAS will be re-visiting a number of
>>>  polling locations
>>> ?that are still recorded as being inaccessible,
>>>  breaking them
>>>  into
>>> ?three categories: failure
>>> ?to communicate; work promised but documentation
>>>  still needed;
>>>  and
>>> ?locations requiring review by MPAS.
>>>
>>> ?MPAS will focus attention on election officials
>>>  who have failed
>>> ?to respond to MPAS communication attempts.?
>>>  This may involve
>>> ?revisiting the location (some
>>> ?clerks correct the problem even when they fail
>>>  to respond),
>>> ?attending city council/township meetings, filing
>>>  official HAVA
>>> ?complaints, and/or pursuing
>>> ?legal action under different funding
>>>  sources.?MPAS?goal has
>>> ?always been to educate clerks and assist them
>>>  with improving
>>> ?access first by proposing solutions
>>> ?to removing barriers.
>>>
>>> ?In 2011, MPAS will also direct its attention to
>>>  monitoring the
>>> ?correction plans that election officials have
>>>  submitted to
>>>  ensure
>>> ?that barriers are removed.
>>> ?MPAS will review the remaining 150 polling
>>>  locations that have
>>> ?not been visited yet.
>>>
>>> ?In Summary
>>>
>>> ?Throughout the 2010 project, the partnership
>>>  between MPAS and
>>>  the
>>> ?Michigan Bureau of Elections (BOE) was
>>>  crucial.?The state
>>> ?reinforced the necessity of
>>> ?accessible elections.?They followed up
>>>  with each municipality
>>> ?whose polling place was noted as being
>>>  inaccessible in order to
>>> ?determine the jurisdiction's
>>> ?planned course of action.?In addition, the
>>>  BOE coordinated and
>>> ?extended Michigan's polling place improvement
>>>  grant well into
>>>  the
>>> ?fall to assist municipalities
>>> ?in removing barriers to voting at no cost.
>>>
>>> ?Local election officials can either upgrade
>>>  their polling places
>>> ?(with or without grant funds), or relocate the
>>>  polling place to
>>> ?an accessible site.?The
>>> ?Bureau of Elections reports that due to the 2010
>>>  project, they
>>> ?have seen a large increase in the number of
>>>  municipalities
>>> ?applying for grant money.?In
>>> ?an effort to assist with the project, the BOE
>>>  extended the
>>> ?typical grant cycle by two months, giving clerks
>>>  additional
>>> ?opportunity to respond to MPAS?
>>> ?letter and correct the problem(s) by using grant
>>>  funds.?The
>>> ?Michigan Bureau of Elections received 74 grant
>>>  applications, the
>>> ?largest amount ever received
>>> ?in one grant cycle.?Of those 74 grant
>>>  applications, 66
>>> ?applicants received letters from MPAS seeking a
>>>  plan of
>>> ?correction - 89% of those who applied.
>>> ?A large number of municipalities have pledged to
>>>  apply when the
>>> ?next grant period opens in early 2011.
>>>
>>> ?If the HAVA/PAVA program survives the President?
>>>  proposed
>>>  budget
>>> ?cuts, MPAS looks forward to continuing the
>>>  partnership with the
>>> ?Secretary of State, ensuring
>>> ?all elections are accessible to all
>>>  voters.?Additionally, MPAS
>>> ?encourages clerks to reach out to local
>>>  disability groups for
>>> ?future trainings.?Listed
>>> ?below are additional recommendations moving
>>>  forward.
>>>
>>> ?Summary/Recommendations:
>>>
>>> ???젨쟊ocal clerks must be
>>>  required to notify the Bureau of
>>> ?Elections prior to relocating polling places.
>>>
>>> ???젨잸ccessibility checks
>>>  should be completed when clerks
>>> ?change polling locations, to verify
>>>  accessibility.?Reports
>>>  (with
>>> ?photographs) should be submitted
>>> ?to the Bureau of Elections.
>>>
>>> ???젨쟍ew polling locations
>>>  must be required to adhere to the
>>> ?Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility
>>>  Guidelines.
>>>
>>> ???젨쟕he advisory committee
>>>  in charge of amending the State
>>> ?Plan (under HAVA) should re-convene and identify
>>>  ways to hold
>>> ?clerks accountable and implement
>>> ?model oversight programs.
>>>
>>> ???젨잸ccess for All grant
>>>  money should be available
>>>  throughout
>>> ?the year, so accessibility problems can be
>>>  addressed anytime
>>>  they
>>> ?arise.
>>>
>>> ???젨쟕he Bureau of
>>>  Elections and local clerks should continue
>>> ?working with disability advocacy organizations
>>>  to complete
>>> ?year-round polling place accessibility
