Ian,
My comments were spoken in general terms from conversation and research I had done awhile ago. The issue at hand is to have a device that is ADA compliant and not a quick fix to the problem.
I certainly did not mean to imply what we were using for the immediate demos was to be our solution. Our search must continue.

> Barry Herron had spoken with the some association dealing with the blind (ask him which one specifically) and they had stated it didn't matter what style of numeric keypad you had, as long as you told the blind voter which one it was. Is our search for a telephone style keypad a waste of time?

> > The 10-keypad I received on Saturday for our demonstration at the Secretary of State's Technology day arrived. I tested it this AM. Each time I place a vibs voter card into the machine and respond to a candidate position - it CANCELs the ballot. This does not appear to lend itself to a demonstration. Are there some special instructions I'm missing? We've got to have a working 10 key pad for this week and next.
