HI, D.B., The Diebold TouchScreen Electronic Boring machine has a keyboard port for the telephone style keypad that most blind people, including deaf-blind people would use to navigate through the ballot and make selections. The machine also has the standard 3/8-inch "mini" stereo headphone jack for plugging in any headset that would be used with a standard portable radio, or "Walkman" type audio device, for listening to the audio output. There is also an industry-standard, 9-pin, RS-232C serial port for connecting any external device that expects to be able to interface with another computer via that serial port interface. That's where your deaf-blind friend would connect something like a braille-output-equipped notetaker or laptop computer, among other things, in place of not being able to use "that stupid audio" as he said. So, this really is a truly PWD-friendly and PWD-accessible voting experience that is provided by this particular machine.
