[Arizona-students] Did anyone bvote?

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hey Allison,

Karen and I participated in early voting last Wednesday evening. 
Unfortunately, we did not get to cast an accessible, secret ballot.  The 
poll workers were obviously clueless and told us it would take more than two 
hours using the accessible machines, so we agreed to have an election 
official help us.  What happened next was even more inappropriate!  She had 
Karen and I sit down at the same table and vote, one after the other!!!  I 
reported the incident to the Secretary of State (602-542-8683) and to the 
NFB HAVA hotline this afternoon (877-632-1940).  I encourage anyone who has 
problems casting their secret ballot to report the incident so issues can be 
resolved by 2008.
