Summary
Nick Papadopoulos, a Georgia resident with cerebral palsy who uses a wheelchair, shares how mail-in voting is essential for voters with disabilities. He argues that Trump's executive order targeting mail-in ballots threatens voting accessibility, effectively disenfranchising disabled voters who rely on this method to participate independently in elections. Papadopoulos details the physical barriers of in-person voting for people with disabilities and frames mail-in voting as a critical lifeline for equal access to the ballot box.
