[nfb-db] Voting

[Janice Toothman]

Hi Keitei,
They have audible voting machines for the blind. I tried to use one 
today because I use hearing aides and an FM system to hear.  I have in 
the past been able to plug in my FM system into the jack where the 
headphones are supposed to be plugged and been able to hear the 
information fed directly into my hearing aides. However, today the 
equipment was not working so I had to have my father or a voting 
official (my choice-they said) to assist me with voting so that the 
machine would not time out and prevent me from voting, since they didn't 
appear to know how to solve the problem.
Individuals who are totally deaf and totally blind will need to have an 
interpreter to read the ballot to them and make their selection.
Best Regards,
Janice
