[nabs-l] Voting in the Upcoming November Election

[Derek Manners]

Every state is different. Congrats on living in a swing state. You've got a great governor's race on your hands. 

I'd contact either a county clerk or the Secretary of State to figure out the easiest way to vote. You can also get info from someone else in your local chapter. 

While some states have online voting (in part thanks to the NFB) most states still require us to have a non secret ballot. 

In Massachusetts, we have special voting machines that read to us. 

Best

There's directional keys that allow you to choose your candidates and answers to questions. After you finish filling it out, you print it out and then just put it in the ballot box.

I'm just wondering since this is actually my second time voting, but when I voted before in the Presidential election someone read it to me. Do you guys think they can send me the election ballot by email; instead, of them reading it to me? I'm just curious is since I know that next week is going to be election in order to vote for our House of Representatives members and the Senate. I look forward in hearing your opinions and responses regarding this matter! Thanks so much and God bless!!
