I seriously do not understand this.  If someone came in with a cast on their 
writing hand from a bowling accident, no one would question them going in 
with assistance.  Ditto elderly people who don't see well and have shaky 
hands.  We have a lot of people going in with someone assisting them, for all 
sorts of reasons (and for those listed as permanently requiring assistance, 
the voter rolls don't tell us what their disability is; just that they have 
already registered the fact that they'll require assistance in the voting 
booth).  Nobody thinks anything of it.  And we have miniscule "cubicles"; 
really just tall spindly tables with three sides and a light, with the 
writing surface probably no more than sixteen inches on a side.  Someone 
going "in" with them merely means they are standing next to them at the 
shielded table.  It's basically too small for one, to say nothing of two.  
But in any case I don't see why the size would have anything to do with a 
reaction to a voter requiring assistance.  I think you maybe just have awful 
poll workers in your precinct.
