[nfb-db] Deaf-blind focus group on access technology and voting

[Randy Pope]

I'm interesting in this group.  Too often my request to participate in these
HAVA group is rejected because my situation does not apply.

Hello all.
I'm passing the below info on at the request of Lou Ann blake. I don't, as
of yet, have details on where we would go to participate, but I will have
them tomorrow if people are interested.

Dear Scott,

I hope this e-mail finds you well.

The National Federation of the Blind will be conducting, via online chat, a
focus group for deaf-blind voters on Tuesday, November 12,
3:00-4:00 p.m. EST. The purpose of this focus group is to learn from
deaf-blind individuals about the types of barriers they currently face in
casting a private and independent ballot, and about the types of personal
access technology used by the deaf-blind that could remove these barriers.
This information will be provided to voting technology researchers and
developers during a seminar hosted by the NFB in December 2013.

We would be very happy if you could participate in this focus group.
We need your input so that we can work with election technology researchers
and developers to design voting systems that will enable deaf-blind citizens
to vote privately and independently! Please feel free to contact me if you
have any questions. I have attached the focus group agenda for your
information.

Best regards,



Lou Ann
