Comment :  ...it was suggested by our committee that the voters should have the option of having the touch screen on or off, while utilizing the audio ballot and navigation controls. For voters with no sight abilities, a blank screen is advantageous since it ensures privacy. But, there are other voters who have partial sight and prefer to have the visual voting screen guidance during the voting process.
