It may be the law, but it does not always work. My county went with the touch
screens. Yes, it has voice, but I have tried and just can not use them. I can
use my iPhone, but not those voting machine screens. My husband still votes for
me. I am quite angry over this, as our local NFB group went and tried out
several models before they chose, and they chose the one that we could not use.
