I hope (and presume) you were permitted to vote.
Same situation in my family; because of a stroke, family member now quasi-prints name rather than cursive writing. She votes absentee, and application has been accepted at Board of Election, and I have no reason to believe her ballot would not be accepted.

In Hamilton County, Ohio, I recommend contacting Caleb Faux, member of Board of Election and former director of same, online with any questions/doubts.

Thanks. Put the numbers in my contacts. mobeau69 Oct 2020 #1

You are not allowed to use electronic devices in the polling location MagickMuffin Oct 2020 #66
Yes, regardless of rights, it is still best to notify the official in charge of the polling location Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2020 #71
