Comment : | I am pleased, however, that the EAC has stated in its guidelines that when a VVPAT is required and when that paper audit trail becomes the official ballot for auditing or recounting purposes, it must be accessible to people who are blind or visually impaired. HAVA requires that each polling site have one accessible machine by January 1, 2006. Californians with disabilities look forward to an independent, private and secure vote come January 1, 2006 and into the future. [Statements submitted at EAC public hearing, July 28, 2005, Pasadena]
