Name :   Mike Barrios Organization :   N/A Post Date :   9/30/2005 Section Comments Section :   2.2.7 Page no. :   Line no.:   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.
