Split Ballot For Disabled Voters

Ballot-marking devices have helped people vote independently, but some disabled voters say poll workers don’t know how to use them.

“Poll workers are not adequately trained on how to set up or use the machines,” says Julia Pinover, an attorney for Disability Rights Advocates, an organization that protects civil rights of disabled people. “So when people show up to vote and unfortunately the poll workers won’t have the requisite information about how the ballot-marking devices function.”
