I'm wondering if those of us who do not choose to use them might still be compelled to use the voting machines at the voting precincts a week from Tuesday? Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of accessible machnes that we as blind people can use independently. But until the machine software is less vulnerable to outside hacking, I am going to do whatever I can not to use one. Frankly, I'd trust the little old ladies in the precincts to mark my ballot properly much more than I'd trust a machne programmed with no governmental oversight by a private company with potential conflicts of interest. Just my 2.5 cents.
I don't think we'll be forced to use the machines. I voted last week adn I just had my mom come along and mark my ballot for me and signed the bottom. It was a breeze.
