vision

Volume switch was needed

Was not certain how to repeat a step if she made an error. Having whole keybaord was difficult

Liked because it was accessible

Introduction was very good. I liked it because of my software JAWS

Preferred vote by mail—blind ballot

The voting keys seemed mickey mouse, I would move the up and down arrow keys to the left hand side to match the cursor arrows. Move the circle to the top right had corner so as not to hit it with the elbow.

Liked the simplicity

first machine I tried and it seemed very good

Could be problematic for dyslexic or spacial—shape limited voters

Other comments: Fascinating, I am trying them all

Different steps left me confused

Volume dropped half way through. Buttons were not sensitive, did not register selections

Initial auto instructions way too long

Satisfactory

I liked it

Voice was machine-like and took too long

It was a good one

I did not like the small ballot verification slip. Too small and off to the side.

Didn’t like because you could not do it at home. Liked because of ease of four buttons.
