Comment : | , it is imperative the VVSG standards be written to encompass as many individuals with disabilities, and the highest level of access possible. In the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a “standard” is defined as: something established by authority, custom, or general consent as a model. The alternative definition describes it as: something set up and established by authority as a rule for the measure of quantity, weight, extent, value, or quality. Following along that line of thought, should not the EAC demand the highest possible quality of access for voters with disabilities? ACB asks that the proposed VVSG be written as a model of what appropriate and equitable access shall be.
