Topic	Now THIS is clever; using ADA noncompliance to suppress minority voters
Balrog0 08/23/18 5:28:40 PM #8:	s0nicfan posted... In a mirror universe 0Gorlab is reporting on how Republicans are suppressing votes by having polling stations at places that aren't ADA compliant so the handicapped can't vote. Like... voter suppression is bad, but at what point can you make the case that these places actually need to be ADA compliant? Is it okay if people in wheelchairs can't vote in that county? If this were a week before polls that'd be one thing, but it's August. Are you telling me these places can't install a ramp between now and then? Or better yet, just find a place that IS compliant. Is this the right time? The answer is no. Its not. The reason its not the right time? Its never the right time, Malone said, responding to concerns that the closures are coming so close to an important election. When a county resident asked if he would be open to finding other ADA-compliant polling locations, Malone said that he was not hired to find alternatives. so... yeah --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:907426121] in Now THIS i...
