[Colorado-Talk] A small Problem With Our Accessible Ballot Marking System

[Asanda Pavlacka]

Aside from the ballot not printing in Firefox, I also later realized that the other signature form that I did successfully print out was not auto populated with my information. It sounds like if I tried to print that one in Safari also, it would have auto populated at least some of my information. Just mentioning it for the record.
I did get a sighted person to help me fill it out so I will be able to drop that off tomorrow.
