My voting experience:
Well, i officially voted yesterday after work at the library...and i waited in line for an hour! They didn't have many machines, and they weren't really ready for dude in a chair with limited hand function. They give you a card to slide in the machine, and to take out...i couldn't do it. The machine came down some, but not a lot, and i can see other quads not being able to reach...i used a pencil to reach higher to touch the screen...
I have to say this...i can see why people with disabilities, or poor people, or minority people, or even young people are put-off by voting. I was the youngest person in the line...the only wheelchair, only guy in tank top, only guy with tattoos....no one said a word to me, just stared, like, "Wow, i didn't know people like that vote." Everytime i vote it's the same way, so it's not a fluke.
I think if you want to really get people out and voting, you must make it more comfortable...easier...what about internet? Or at least a varity of places to vote...
peace out....antonio ponio
