They include people with disabilities, who traveled to Syracuse yesterday to test the machines for accessibility. Sue Morrow is a blind woman who lives in Watertown – she works at the Independent Living Center. She spoke to reporter Greg Warner last night after she got back. First she described how she votes now. [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/5617/20050504/electronic-voting-with-headphones">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>
