Welcome to Our Blog About Voters with Disabilities

Thank you for visiting our Blog. Voters with disabilities may be the largest voting bloc in the nation - over 54 million people in the United States have disabilities, and span all age groups, ethnicities, races, and genders. More voters with disabilities registered to vote in the 2008 election than ever before.

This Blog has several purposes:

- To share information and resources with our audience, designed to educate voters and Supervisors of Election about the role title II of the ADA plays in elections;

- To identify problems experienced by voters with disabilities, and to propose solutions (send information to mdubin@pobox.com);

- To identify other groups and organizations addressing voter protection, and to create collaborations with them;

- To provide a place where voters with disabilities can communicate with one another about their concerns and experiences;

- To create a central repository of information concerning voters with disabilities.

We welcome your input,participation, and insights.

Here in Duval county, they need to train the pollworkers intensely on how to operate the automark machines. Every election there is a problem with the pollworkers failure on how to start and program the machines to give the voter the correct ballot on the screen.
