[NFBC-Info] Voting

[CHELA Robles]

You have no idea how long I’ve been longing for a way to vote with my screen reader of choice on my computer it’s something I already know how to operate :-) thanks for this. See all of you at convention virtually. I’m especially looking forward to meeting up with old friends and making new ones virtually and I am also looking forward to how the technology part is going to work as far as showing off the technology from vendors and I’m also looking forward to meeting other new people who have never been to a national convention before.
I’ve even invited a pianist singer songwriter Irish friend of mine who is a sighted individual. She’s really ecstatic about this just like how I am for this new independent way of voting.
