[NFB_of_Georgia] Testing of New Voting Machines

[Beverly]

I used the new voting machine on Monday during early voting.  I must say 
improvements have been made.  All of the buttons are clearly labeled in 
Grade One Braille which allows everyone the ability to use the machines. 
Make sure when you go to ask about the machine for the visually impaired.
