        49.90  ASSISTING VOTER.
         Any voter who may declare upon oath that the voter is blind,
      cannot read the English language, or is, by reason of any physical
      disability other than intoxication, unable to cast a vote without
      assistance, shall, upon request, be assisted by the two officers as
      provided in section 49.89, or alternatively by any other person the
      voter may select in casting the vote.  The officers, or the person
      selected by the voter, shall cast the vote of the voter requiring
      assistance, and shall thereafter give no information regarding the
      vote cast.  If any elector because of a disability cannot enter the
      building where the polling place for the elector's precinct of
      residence is located, the two officers shall take a paper ballot to
      the vehicle occupied by the elector with a disability and allow the
      elector to cast the ballot in the vehicle.  Ballots cast by voters
      with disabilities shall be deposited in the regular ballot box, or
      inserted in the tabulating device, and counted in the usual manner.
