[nabs-l] voting

[Yadiel Sotomayor]

There are some accessible voting machines. So even better, you don't need any assistance whatsoever.

National Federation of the Blind of Puerto Rico 

La National Federation of the Blind sabe que la ceguera no es la
característica que define tu futuro o a ti.  Todos los días elevamos las
expectativas de los ciegos, porque las bajas expectativas crean obstáculos
entre los ciegos y su futuro.  Puedes vivir la vida que queres, la ceguera
no te lo impide.

That way, you could actually be educating the mai stream about blindness, much more than if say,you did it absentee.

D we enter a voting booth with a friend or pole worker and just tell them what buttons to push? I might be making this up, but I might have heard something once about how blind people can get absentee ballots sent to them in braille. Thanks in advance for your answers!
