Greetings, I'm new to this group.
 
In regards to the question about accessible voting, I am sure  we all want 
the easiest method from which to vote, but that is not always the  most 
safest way.  When it comes to voting we must safeguard our privilege  to vote by 
maintaining a paper ballet with every electronic vote cast.  You  can all 
already vote at home with absentee ballot and scan it to read  and mark your 
choice and print and return it before the designated time.   If you want to 
go into the polling place you can have your paper ballot filled  out in 
advance and take it in to put it in the box.  Electronic voting must  always 
have a paper trail since we all know there is wide spread fraud.  If  you want 
accommodations request them in advance in writing, such as an  interpreter.  
The electronic machine at the polls had difficulty  pronouncing the names 
and it was difficult to understand.  Fortunately I  remembered my choices 
that I had chosen before I went into the booth.  It  seems reasonable to 
request in advance a braille copy that has print on  it.  But how would you answer 
it and how would they be able to count  it?  The machine would have to have 
refreshable braille as well as voice  and mark a paper copy.  
 
Blessings all,
 
Cheri fields
