General Comments
Comment :  My name is Fran Osborn. I am totally blind.

I have used an accessible voting machine when I voted in a Proposition Election in 2004 in Dallas County. I really enjoyed the freedom of voting independently. In the presidential election 11-2004, I chose to vote early and voted with a friend, accessible machines were not in place.

If I didn't trust my friend  to vote the way I wanted her to, I would have chosen not to vote. More counties need to have accessible voting machines in place. They are easy to use and the learning curve is minimal.
