people with special needs were actually a trojan horse to shepherd in computerized voting with the advent of HAVA. The result of having computerized voting is that we can no longer trust that our votes are being counted as cast, regardless of special needs. In my county, by the way, many of the voting machines that were supposed to accommodate voters with special needs were found to be broken (but still rolled out into precincts on election day).

Not so coincidentally, as computerized voting has proliferated, funding for people with special needs has dwindled; so have the civil rights of every citizen.
