[Colorado-talk] New accessible voting option in Denver

Tue Apr 16 03:23:55 UTC 2019

hello Curtis,
thanks for sharing this awesome news with all of us! I wished that I
still lived in Denver because if I still did then I would indeed do
this for the upcoming elections in Denver. I hope that many people who
are blind can participate in this in the city of Denver! I wish that
the city of castle rock or other cities in the state would do this oh
well! I hope this legislation will go through by 2020 for the major
election in making accessible for blind people to vote independtally!

thanks again forsharing and, I will talk to you soon!

hugs,
amy
