[NFBSF] Accessible voting

Fri Nov 6 13:58:01 UTC 2020

When I have voted before in person you use a machine called an auto Mark machine. You insert a paper ballot and then it’s like a screen reader that reads to you the options with headphones and tactile buttons on a little remote type thing that usually have braille and are different shapes. use the little remote to follow the instructions and mark the ballot and then it marks it for you and print it out and print and then you submit it just like everybody else.
