‘A Failed System’

What It’s Like to Vote With a Disability During a Pandemic

"An estimated 38 million eligible voters have disabilities. It has always been hard for them to vote, and this year has brought even more obstacles."

For 38 million Americans with disabilities, voting is even harder than usual this year.

"According to new projections from researchers at Rutgers University, nearly one in six American voters is disabled. For those 38 million people, the coronavirus pandemic has enormously complicated what was already a frustratingly difficult process: casting a vote."

30 Years of Progress: Access, Opportunity and Inclusion

"This year marks the 30th anniversary of President George H.W. Bush signing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law. Throughout this 30th anniversary year, the Civil Rights Division is recognizing the many ways in which the ADA has transformed American society and enabled a generation of Americans with disabilities to thrive. At the same time, we recognize that many barriers to equal opportunity still remain."

Isn't it enough to simply rely on the polling place to inform us of any changes to their site?

No. Elections officials cannot assume the polling location has done a complete ADA survey, even if they checked a "compliant" box on a form.
Can't I just use last year's ADA report?

Just as elections change, so do the intricacies of each polling place. Best practice nationwide is to conduct a thorough survey before each election cycle.
C'mon. Who is actually going to scrutinize our ADA accessibility in a presidential election year?

Campaigns, advocacy groups, law firms, DOJ, the media, voters, etc.
