My polling place is entirely inaccessible for voters in wheelchairs. It's in what used to be a Catholic school that's now a daycare center. And inside, the workers have it set up so that there is a gamut to be run in a narrow hallway where they inexplicably set up the sign-in table. And that's the only way in and out, so if there's a line of people waiting people who are done voting can't get out. It's the stupidest (and most unnecessary) setup I've ever seen. I'm thinking about only voting absentee from now on, as is my mother. She has a sight impairment and our new (paperless, proofless, easily hacked) electronic voting machines are hard for her to operate, and our voting people (who've run the precinct for as long as I've been voting which is half my life) seem to think that the law that entitles her to help means that one of them has to help her and that I can't. She doesn't trust them, she trusts me. So yeah, absentee for us now.
