Summary: A blind individual opposes the extension of the compliance dates, arguing that it delays equal access to vital government information. The commenter shares a personal experience of being unable to access ballot information on a state website due to inaccessible PDF formatting.
The extension of this notice is really disheartening. As a blind American I should be able to have acccess to all information including local, state, and federal. We are capable human beings with job, careers, lives, and voices. As I am commenting today, tomorrow are the primary elections where I live. I am going to make my voice heard and wanted to know who was on the ballot. While exploring the Secretary of State website, I was met with a form that came up in a PDF view. This was not able to be read by my voice over feature on my phone. Not knowing what's on the ballot puts me at a real disadvantage because I will be in a place longer than I should have to be along with other factors.while there are other means to find out this information, I should be able to access this very vital information like everyone else. Do our voices not matter?
