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.

Subject: [Ohio-Talk] Workshop on Voting Machines

Hello Richard,
I talked ! Brett on the phone. We did not exchange emails. He did tebbl me
that he could come to our Convention and show us how to use the Voting
Machine I used. It is used in 12 Counties.
He did not mention other machines but I imagine that could be worked out.
He did say that he would meet with other group including Chapters who meet
in person.
There is a Special Election in August. Brett suggested that I could have an
email sent to me, click on link, and then vote. I told him that I did not
have the skills to do this yet. I told him I wanted to vote in person
independently using machine.
Louanne Blake suggested that we could have a Video over Zoom to learn about
this machine. I told her that I didn't think this would work because some of
us would need to feel the Keypad and then try to manipulate it using the
actual machine.
I think that the Committee that looks at these machines should include a
person who is not technically minded.
I was told by Brett that blind people did participate in feedback about
these machines.
I am sorry but I did not have a clue on how to use it.
In my opinion, Chapters who meet in person before August should have someone
come to their Chapter Meeting to show blind people how to use the Machine
used in their County.
Could you please contact the ADA Coordinator for the Secretary of State and
schedule this workshop for our Convention.
For those who are comfortable with the machines manufactured by Dominion
please be patient with those of us who have no clue what to do.
Colleen Roth, President;
At Large Chapter;
