[nabs-l] Convention in Orlando for 5 Years

That's good to know. With a crowd of blind people, I believe that braille 
menus and signs are quite helpful. You can then confirm you're at the right 
place by reading the sign or more importantly confirm you are at the right 
gender's restroom.
Actually, while the ADA requires braille signs, they are not covered by 
older buildings; only renovated ones. Also even after ADA was passed, there 
was a time frame that businesses did not have to comply; they did not have 
to comply immediately. If they do renovations, older buildings have to be 
ADA compliant though.

Both, actually.

The rooms had Braille signage (though it was a little weird), and the
restaurants had Braille menus available—at least the lounge did when
I went with the crew after the Bookshare meeting/party/thing.

Hotel staff at the Rosen Centre figured out a day or two in that when
a large bunch of us were coming in off the shuttle that there was a
particularly good spot to have someone stand to direct those less
skilled with travel skills toward the elevators without the need to
shout directions and were happy to do it.

They were at times more eager to help than needed, but that’s to be
expected when you’ve got so many of such wildly varying skill levels.

It was really a great experience—just a pricey one.

>>>?Executive Summary
>>>
>>>?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

>>> 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

>>>
>>>?Summary/Recommendations:
>>>
>>>???젨쟊ocal clerks must be

>>>?Elections prior to relocating polling places.
>>>
>>>???젨잸ccessibility checks

>>>
>>>???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
