So when it was sealed, it looked the same, just like the one used by the sighted people. I was able to compare it because my husband was working on his and we were both giving in the same time. I had no problem. and they showed me what to do, of course, as soon as the voice started, I was able to work it easily. Thank you for making this is possible. </div><div><div dir="ltr">Peace, Intesar<div><br></div><div>“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, or even touched.

This is important to all of us again this year because this is our chance to help get the people we want to be our legislators, State Senators, and Members of Congress from Iowa. There are primary races for many of the positions in both parties. Please consider getting out to vote in the primary and then when the candidate of your choice wins the primary you need to find ways to help them get elected in November in the General Election.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In addition, this is a good time to remind all of you that though we are trying to get voting laws changed to make it easier for blind person to vote in Iowa we do have some options now and they do work. A member of the NFBI came to us the other day and said that he had called his County Elections Office to ask some questions about this primary. Things like is his polling place the same one that he had in the General Election. Good reason to ask this question since there are fewer people voting this time it could have changed. He then asked if there would be an accessible voting machine at his precinct. Of course the answer to that was yes since the law requires there to be one at every polling place. Do our concerns stop there? No, when you get to your polling place there are supposed to be people there that are trained in how to use the accessible machines. That includes being able to show you where the button is to turn off the screen on the device so that people around you are not able to see your choices. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This year the NFBI Legislative Committee is working with the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office to make sure that all of things are happening. If you encounter any problems in voting this Tuesday please let one of us know what the problem was and where and when it happened. You should of course report it on the Secretary Of State’s Voter hotline too but we need to know it so that we can work with them on this. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We hope that many of you will get out and vote this Tuesday and that there are no problems.
