Comment : | The current draft guidelines allow blind people to vote independently and secretly, which is a victory, but have taken away the same right for people who do not have the manual dexterity to handle paper: people who are quadriplegic, double amputees, those with severe arthritis, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, etc. HAVA explicitly requires access to all elements of voting for everyone, not just some.
