Voting is a fundamental right for adults with disabilities. Voting by mail is secure and far more accessible then many voting poles in my area. In Colorado we also get emails when our ballots are received and counted for some of the best voting transparency in the USA.

Voting by mail I can do on my time when I'm comfortable. I can vote in the privacy of my home and not surrounded by people or deal with lines that cause social anxiety.
Voting by mail is an accessible option for many people, and states should do everything possible to make mailing in your ballot as easy as possible.
Any attempt to remove mail-in ballots should be seen as a violation of ADA, disability civil rights, and an effort to disenfranchise a whole swath of American voters.

Note: I'm unaffiliated in the State of CO, so I get both parties primary ballots. I only returned one (per the instructions), will not say who's. Having a disability does not diminish your rights to privacy and access as a voter.
Because advocating for common sense voting rights can be a hot-button issue when it's really just a decent human right, comments are disabled.
