i want abled people to remember this when they discuss voting laws and voter suppression
- it is illegal for developmentally and intellectually disabled people to vote in 39 states
- at least 70% of polling sites nationwide are physically inaccessible and less than half of these sites offer curbside voting
- disabled people are about 20% less likely to vote than abled people
particularly when this is addressed, we need to examine how this first and foremost affects disabled trans and/or people of color, who are already suffocated by such toxic laws from the axes of gender and/or race, only to be further harmed by institutionalized ableism
