Comment :  “The voting process shall be accessible to voters with visual disabilities” (2.2.7.2).  After the passage of HAVA, the focus tends to be on the requirement that there must be one accessible voting station (Acc-VS) per polling place by 2006.  This is a critical requirement, but many overlook the more important statement that the voting process must be accessible, which subsumes one Acc-VS.
