I may have
to make a point with the election system in this state anyway. their
current ballots aren't really accessible to the blind (I usually do the
early voting mail in ballot).
its that or I could make a standard template with holes in the right
spots and braille to indicate some of the fields (like yes or no or
choose one). I think the ballot would have to be a standard form as well
so that each section has the same entries regardless of who is or
isn't there.
Something to take up with the state elections board.

The County needs poll workers - people who work the polls...her you could
get a first-hand, up-close and personal look at the inner workings of the
actual voting as it takes place. And yes, you get paid.
Then, both of the major political parties will want people to work (yes,
you get paid by County) to participate in the "Hand count" -
this is where they reconcile the vote tally as per the machines again
real people (you) hand counting each ballot.....
Both political parties also need volunteers (non-paid) to be observers
INSIDE the Ballot Tabulation Center to watch the actual machine-counting
of the ballots...this also allows you to go anywhere in that building
(with a guide) EXCEPT behind the glass windows to the actual small room
where the computers are located.......you can watch the process of
handling of early ballots, provisional ballots, etc.....this is
non-paying work.
Jim, it seems, is far past this stage of the game, but other interested
parties are welcome to email me off line for more details. I just
think that voting is not to be tampered with, and the more you know about
the process, the more (or less) confidence you should
gain........
