@HeartlandSignal As a blind person I am astonished that you would suggest that I be denied the ballot. When voting was inaccessible to me b/c that is how it is designed, I have occasionally sought assistance. Are your seriously contemplating disenfranchising 10% of our population. I PAY TAXES 2!

[NFB of Illinois @NFBI]

@NFB_voice @HumanWare Very excited to see this. Let's help blind people live the lives we want and meet our goal.
