[Ohio-talk] New Voter Machines

[Cheryl Fields]

My thought is to get in now, ground floor, before a decision is made.
The Ohio Board of Elections Commissioners usually make these
decisions, may have the name mixed up. However, since the current
machines are in working order, we need to make sure the next
generation is just as good prior to purchase.
I think it is reasonable to ask as soon as possible to participate in
the process. Currently, the i pad test to sign in Cuyahoga county
voters at the polls is not accessible and exclude the visually
impaired and blind from working at the polls. CF
