Actually that’s a great idea. But I’ll still send it to the list.

>> The NFB of California is testing a virtual voting system at our state convention this November 3-6, 2022. While we could not offer virtual voting functionality at the convention this year, we would like to consider a system that would enable members to vote in the future without requiring a physical presence at the in person convention.  We will be testing the system on simulated topics throughout the convention general session agenda. The system we are testing collects votes through text messages and phone calls. Here are a few things to know before the testing.
