[NFBofAlaska] Fwd: Information and demonstration of the accessible voting machines

Thu Sep 22 05:18:34 UTC 2022

I can’t imagine them being anything else. However, I’m going for a short time tomorrow so I will let you know.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

I'm assuming these are the same "accessible" voting machines used in the August 16th Primary?

Hello,

If any of you can attend this demo to use the accessible voting machines,, I will be there tomorrow between 11:00 and noon. I think this is a worthwhile opportunity, though I did learn about it kind of late. See you tomorrow. 

Regards, Bonnie
