>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> AT THE CAPITOL, REPUBLICANS
RELEASED A SLATE OF BILLS AIMED
AT TYING UP LOOSE ENDS IN THE
STATE'S ELECTION LAW.
LOOSE ENDS THAT CHALLENGED THE
LAW'S INTENT IN NEW WAYS AS THE
2020 ELECTIONS WERE HELD DURING
THE UNFOLDING PANDEMIC.
AMONG THE ISSUES ADDRESSED IN
THE PROPOSED LEGISLATION WERE
INDEFINITELY CONFINED VOTER,
OUTSIDE FUNDING TO HELP
ADMINISTER ELECTIONS AND
INFORMATION THAT CLERKS ARE
REQUIRED TO REPORT.
ADVOCATES FROM THE DISABILITY
COMMUNITY VOICED CONCERNS THAT
SOME OF THE BILLS WOULD LIMIT
VOTER ACCESS.
>> AS A DISABLED VOTER, I'M
CONCERNED WITH THE CONTINUED
EFFORTS TO RESTRICT THE
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF THE
DISABLED COMMUNITY TO VOTE.
I'M GRAVELY DISAPPOINTED WITH
THE REINTRODUCTION OF SEVERAL
BILLS THAT I BELIEVE ARE
PRESENTED UNDER THE GUISE OF
ELECTION INTEGRITY AT THE COST
OF EQUITABLE ACCESS.
>> THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT
DISABILITIES THAT CAN CAUSE
MISTAKES, AND PEOPLE SHOULD NOT
BE PUNISHED IF THEY MAKE A
SIGNIFICANT ERROR.
AND WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
THIS AND OTHER BILLS THAT HAVE
BEEN INTRODUCED IN THE PAST THAT
MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THOSE
POPULATIONS TO GET TO VOTE.
