[gui-talk] talking voting machines

[tribble]

Yes, I used a talking voting machine for the first time last November.  I 
filled out my ballot with no assistance and no one in the booth with me --  
except an aid who kept barging in to see if I needed help. (Actually I think 
she just wanted to see who I was voting for... -- I solved that by turning 
off the screen...)
She got her view of my ballow however when I left the booth and she fed it 
into the counting machine. I saw her pause and stare at my ballot a few 
moments before putting it in.)
But all in all, I was quite pleased at the accessibility in my new town --  
we moved to Minnesota a year ago.
Minnesota is excellent when it comes to access.
Happy voting.

I just had my first experience with a talking voting machine.  It was very 
easy to use and worked out great.  I remember the first time I voted after 
losing my sight I had to go into the ballot booth with two judges one from 
each party to mark my ballot for me.  Over the past several years I could 
use anyone I wished to mark my ballot.  This new talking machine beats them 
all.
