<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Fellow Federationists,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today is primary election day in Maryland! If you have voted or plan to vote today or voted during the early voting period and you experienced a problem with the audio ballot not working, please let me know! You can send me an e-mail to
<a href="mailto:lblake@nfb.org">lblake@nfb.org</a> or call me at (410) 659-9314, ext. 2221. I will need to know the polling place where you voted and a brief description of the problem you experienced. I will pass the information on to the Maryland State Board
of Elections so they can take steps to improve poll worker training. Thank you and please be sure to vote if you are eligible to do so!<o:p></o:p></p>
