[blindlaw] accessible voting machines

[Helen Bryant]

Massachusetts uses the AUTOMARK machine. There is one in each polling place.
Our office, Disability Law Center, monitors the polling places to be sure
they are used properly. All of our staff use them when they vote.

We have fully accessible voting machines here in Durham and Chapel Hill, NC.
You insert the ballot into a scanner, then a computer helps you make your
selections.  When you're done, the machine fills in your ballot for you.
You then put it in the same machine that all other voters uses.  I've had no
trouble with it, nor have I required assistance.  All the machines scan the
ballot properly no matter what orientation it's in when you insert it.
Unfortunately, I don't know the brand of the machine.

Onward!

Are there any fully accessible voting machines for the blind?  By which I
mean, show me the booth and wait outside while I cast my vote in private...
If so, are there any such in the Bay Area of California?
