Democracy Docket @democracydocket.com

NEW: For decades, protecting the voting rights of people with disabilities was a bipartisan priority. Now, as the GOP restricts voting access through the lens of “election integrity,” those long-standing protections are already beginning to erode. From: @yuniorarivas.bsky.social

It isn’t collateral damage. It is intentional eugenics. It is part of the plan, and journalists sane wash it by saying this crap.

Reminder, they're not "collateral damage", this was part of the goal from the start.

It’s almost like conservatives don’t care about the public having a voice and autonomy…

I think there's a case to be made that the GOP doesn't view disenfranchising disabled people as "collateral damage." RFJ Jr. runs with a crowd that pretty much acts like people deserve to perish if they are not MAHA. Swiping their votes is in line with that.

Yes, voters with disabilities also lean Democrat.

This is how you get rid of the voters of a large portion of a cohort that predominantly votes Democrat.

ICE "voter integrity" goons will be stationed at the bottom of the stairs leading to your voting booth. Making sure you are a citizen Making sure you are not a liability to the State just voting for your own "useless eater" self interest They are too fat to be stationed at the top of the stairs

They can't realize how much this hurt them. There are a whole lot of seniors in nursing homes voting red. And, they have indoctrinated even 20 somethings to make up the difference. As a senior heading towards immobility, I am pissed!

They are moving away from democracy. They don't need votes with their end game. Conservatives already screech about how we live in a republic and not a democracy.

There are multiple sides to every policy decision. But I have one question for 2024 voters: You may have disagreed with Kamala on some of her policy stances, but do you really feel hate and/or cruelty was the foundation of her decision? Because I can guarantee you that is exactly what drives Trump.

Voters with disabilities lean democrat. Along with the apparent eugenics policies of RFK Jr, I am not sure this is "collateral damage" instead of "part of the plan".

Wait…WHAT? Let the disabled and elderly VOTE after their INSURANCE has been TAKEN AWAY? That's a recipe for (Republican) political disaster! Certainly a bigger disaster than is already predicted!

Being in a red state, I pulled the public record of voters, in my neighborhood. Surprisingly, there were A LOT of Dems and Independents. I'll be door knocking before the primaries. Also to let Independents know they can't vote unless they join a party, as I ended up doing. I'm now a Dem.
