Gov. Greg Abbott on Saturday vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have expanded vote-by-mail access for people with disabilities — specifically people who are blind or paralyzed and need assistance marking their ballot.

        More absolutely predictable than ironic, it will not impact him and he has no love for the disability community. I imagine he has a ton of internalized ableism and believes himself as different from other disabled people. He has a long history of doing things like this, look up his tort reform work. As a wheelchair user I really hate that one of the most prominent wheelchair users in politics is this fuck.

        Probably has someone vote for them or doesn’t need to vote due to wealth and status. I am guessing here.

            Oh wow that’s messed up.

            I’ve had the understanding a lot of these laws were meant to impact the poor and working class for a long time. Rare to see someone Aldo know that too.
