AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) A lawsuit that led to a system for Mainers with print disabilities to cast absentee ballots online is being settled.

The settlement agreement formalizes a system in place for those plaintiffs to vote in private, without assistance, from their homes.

Lynn Merrill, one of the plaintiffs, said she deserved the right to cast a private ballot instead of having her ballot filled out by someone on her behalf and witnessed by a second person.

Disability Rights Maine brought the lawsuit in July and the secretary of state’s office responded by putting a system in place before the November election. A judge must sign off on the agreement.
