[NFB_of_Georgia] Fwd: 2IMPORTANT! nd Request - Voting Experience Feedback

[labanes at bellsouth.net]

I used absentee ballot to vote.  A neighbor assisted me.  I had no challenges.  I would have gone to the poles, however due to the pandemic, I felt that was the safest way for me to vote.   

Warmly,
Leonardo Banes Sr.

Hello Everyone,

This is my second request to get your feedback on your voting experience whether you voted by mail or in person. I originally had a deadline of Thursday, June 11 but I have extended that deadline so that we can have as many responses as possible. I know that many of you had challenges when trying to vote but even if you had none, we want to hear them all. Your feedback will assist us in addressing a system that still seems seriously flawed before the General Elections in November. My original email with the guidelines to help you think about your challenges are outlined below. Please pass this information to chapter members or any persons who may not be on this list.

Thanks to all of you who have already responded. Please send all responses to mrobinson at nfbga.org <mailto:mrobinson at nfbga.org>.  Thank you for your cooperation.

I am requesting your feedback on your voting experience whether you did early voting, voted by absentee ballot, or by physically going to the polls tomorrow. Please think about the processs from the beginning to the end.  Below are some of the questions to consider when giving your feedback:

> What challenges if any, did you encounter with the new voting machine?
> Was the poll worker/manager knowledgeable about how to solve any issues you may have had with the operation?
> Were you able to read the printed ballot using accessible software on your device?
> Was the poll worker knowledgeable that we could use the accessible software on our device to read the printed ballot?
> Did you receive assistance in casting your printed ballot?

> What challenges if any,  did you have in receiving the application for the absentee ballot?
> What challenges if any, did you have in filling out the absentee ballot?
