Judge orders ballot tool to help blind in Maryland

Maryland has failed to ensure the rights of blind and disabled people to vote privately and independently and must implement an online ballot-marking tool for November's elections, a federal judge ruled Thursday. In a case that could have ramifications for how other states provide absentee ballot access for the blind and disabled, U.S. District Judge Richard Bennett found that the state was in violation of the American with Disabilities Act.
