[Nyagdu] the auto mark or Sequoia machine instructions

[JULIE PHILLIPSON]

    Here are the instructions for the auto mark and the Sequoia.  You can go 
to your states elections web pages and they should have instructions for the 
machine for that state.  In New York we have a mix depending on what county 
so it will be different depending on where in the state you live.  The new 
York site is www.vote-ny.com/
These are not available yet in New York state and will not be until next 
year therefore I do not intend to use the substitute   ballot marking device 
that they will be using.  If you use it and you are the only one that used 
it supposedly it will be counted but not until the end of the night and then 
it could be only if the election is close.  We had a conference call meeting 
with the board of elections and frankly they didn't convince me that my vote 
will be given the same consideration as any other vote.
 On the website you can view a video or get the transcript of how to use any 
of the devices that will be used.
The counties using the Sequoia machine are

The Sequoia/Dominion ImageCast is a ballot marking device that allows a 
voter with disabilities to privately and independently vote on a paper 
ballot. Audio and tactile interfaces allow voters with sight challenges to 
complete their ballot. Voters can listen to the selections over headphones, 
or view an LCD
screen with an image of their ballot that can be adjusted for size and 
contrast. A "Sip-N-Puff" or paddle device may also be used by voters with 
limited
hand dexterity.
