[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not that many years ago, rural areas had voting locations that were close by and easy to get to. ADA and ballot scanners closed down places like rural town hall locations. In general, voting locations have consolidated and become less accessible physically on election day, so of course you need greater accessibility by other means.

If you want to encourage a behavior, you make it easier, if you want to discourage it, you make it harder.

Concept applies also to ID requirements. [/quote]
In some southern states in 2016/2018/2020, GOP in the states’ election offices used the equivalent of TRAP laws to close down voting locations that they didn’t want to be able to vote. They closed down locations that weren’t handicap accessible, for example, knowing full well that this would ensnare more Black churches (which are used as voting locations) than white. [/quote]

Why aren’t the churches required to be handicapped accessible in the first place?   [/quote]
