GOP War on Voting Leaves Voters with Disabilities as Collateral Damage

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘One in four U.S. adults lives with a disability, and for decades, ensuring they could vote was a bipartisan priority.

But in recent months, a wave of court rulings and legislative efforts, largely driven by the GOP, has eroded vital protections that voters with disabilities have long relied on.

A federal appeals court weakened a key protection for voters with disabilities. And several states passed laws that criminalize efforts to assist voters, or imposed new ID requirements, while Georgia even accused the ride-share company Lyft of violating the law by offering voters discounted rides to the polls — all steps that hit voters with disabilities hardest.

Meanwhile, one of the most crucial lifelines for people with disabilities — mail voting — is now in the crosshairs of President Donald Trump and his party.

“Efforts to undermine, restrict or eliminate the accessible voting options for people with disabilities have a chilling effect on all voters,” James Ziegra, senior staff attorney at Disability Rights Center New Hampshire — a state that has been a leader in restricting access for voters with disabilities — told Democracy Docket. “These efforts echo a dark history of voter suppression targeting people with disabilities, likely violate their legal rights, and undermine overall confidence in our elections.”’

Wow, yet another complete lie of an OP. Good job, chones, your tears make me happy!

Well, I will be out tomorrow with about a 1000 people in little Salem, Oregon, protesting the felonious President, and his MAGAt followers. You assholes are determined to void the Constitution, and take us back to the days of monarchial power. By the time November, 2026 rolls around, I think the economy and physical and mental health issues will sink the malignant mangoes chances of retaining his no cajones representatives and senators. The right to change voting laws belong to the states. The bastard cannot terminate those any more than he can the other Constitutional guarantees that he has threatened to terminate. But you fascists will continue to try to create a fascist government in the US.

Not if the GOP has it's way. And there is no reason to change mail in ballots, worked very well here in Oregon.

More democrat BS as they try to control the votes. We need voter ID, and end to mail in ballots, no illegals can vote, and watch democrats lose even more elections as the vote becomes more honest

Democrat voter fraud is disappearing before their very eyes

Most disabilities dont stop people from voting and we have the ADA that makes access easier

~~~~~~>
Ballot harvesting, which involves collecting and returning ballots on behalf of others, is subject to varying laws depending on the state. Some states allow it with restrictions, while others prohibit it entirely, so it's important to check the specific laws in your state.
Generally, absentee voting requires a voter to request a ballot and provide a valid reason for not voting in person, while mail-in voting may automatically send ballots to all registered voters without needing a reason.
Absentee/mail-in ballot vote fraud occurs when an individual commits electoral fraud via absentee or mail-in ballot. Examples include attempting to vote more than once, attempting to vote using the name of another person, and attempting to vote while being knowingly ineligible to do so.
There is debate surrounding the extent to which this and other forms of voter fraud occur. Two sides are presented here. John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky—with The Heritage Foundation, which describes itself as a conservative think tank—wrote that "the media aren’t doing our democracy any favors by summarily dismissing the existence of voter fraud – like the almost 1,200 proven cases in the Heritage Foundation’s election fraud database – while questioning the very need for accurate voter rolls."

Mail-in ballots work ok for lying, cheating democratd

The Voting Accessibility for the Elderly and Handicapped Act was introduced by Rep. Hamilton Fish Jr. (R-NY) and signed into law by Ronald Reagan in 1984. The law requires all federal election polling places to be handicap accessible.

LOL. Yeah, 1 in 4 Americans lives with a disability (and is collecting benefits). Those hangnails can really make it hard to work. It's about time those people quit living off the government tit. I doubt even 1 in 10 has a real disability. I'm fine if the real freeloaders don't vote.
