The right to assisted voting for the disabled already existed prior to HAVA.
What HAVA did was *use* the disabled, in order to encourage jurisdictions to bring in e-voting systems that, actually, aren't even disabled-accessible as they are required to be by federal law (HAVA and ADA).
Yet, claims of allowing disabled voters to vote "privately and independently" as required by HAVA, is what led supporters of the bill to cynically use the disabled in order to encourage jurisdictions to bring in wholly unverifiable (not to mention easily manipulate and prone to error) voting systems for *everyone*!
Did I mention HAVA was a disaster? ;-)
