18. Well, I'm sorry, that's a weird reason not to vote.

Disabled people in my precinct, when I was a poll worker, they voted. And our polling place accommodated them. My experience is VERY different from yours. Where did you experience this, if you don't mind my asking?

You decided that the fact there are Democratic cosponsors of this bill means that Democrats don't "like" the disabled. You ignore the full Democratic NO vote to this bill on the committee. Sorry, I'm not following your reasoning.
