Clearly, all of the machines were against pot. 
I can just hear the plotting murmurs, "Hey, all those blind people.  We can
fix it so none of them can vote for this thing and no one will ever notice
or care."
Yeah, paranoia is on the rise...
Comes with the subject matter, right?
Well, if we can't laugh, the alternative is probably much worse.

Subject: [Ohio-talk] Voting mishaps

I have never before had trouble voting with the accessible voting machines.
Yesterday, however, it felt as if the keypad was falty. At least it would
not let me enter the 1 to choose English. They tried plugging in the wires
again, but nothing worked. Bob had to fill out the ballot for me. They got
it working later because Tim Mehok came in later and could use the keypad
till he got to the last issue, and then it would not let him vote.  Clearly
the machine was against pot.

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.
