Everything went OK, but why my ballot looks different from everybody else and why we have to feed it into the machine in a separate slot? I tried to insert it in the same place where my husband inserted his and it spitted it back out, saying that it too short, so the worker had to interfere and tell me to insert it in a different place because it\u2019s thinner and shorter. This is not right, it\u2019s like them knowing for sure who voted because my ballot is different. this is not secrecy. I almost do not want to use the machine and let my husband help me so I could be using the regular ballot like everyone else. I thought they were fixing this problem. So how can I truly be independent in voting? </div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-size: 21.333334px;">Warmly, </span></div><div>Intesar Duncan</div><div>(319) 530-3635</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 21.333334px;">\u201cYour vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but by what your mind can imagine.\u201c</span></div><div><br></div><div></div><div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Nov 4, 2025, at 4:01\u202fPM, April Enderton via Tall-Corn <tall-corn@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">\ufeff<span>Thought provoking question for today: With all the advancements in technology, why are we still having accessibility issues with voting?
