My voting experience with low vision (themighty.com)

I was totally blind, and I first used one of those accessible voting things back in 2016. It was my first time, I’ve done it mostly by absentee ballots before, and someone just bubbled the choices I wanted. I really wanted to vote for trump. So, I went. It went well actually. I had no issue. The guy had to fix the machine because literally no one had used it in a very long time.

Ahh voting. You know, aside from figuring out how to get to a polling place, I've never had an issue voting. Granted, I lived in a small enough town that one of the poll workers knew me by name and knew my disability, but what made that person stand out was that she didn't assume what accommodations I needed. Someone jokingly asked me once if my service dog was going to vote. It was a nice time.

The first time I voted, I did a paper ballot where you had to connect a line between two arrows to indicate your choice. I've done electronic voting since, and usually, it's bright and the print is large enough for me at least.
