ID: A person using a walker tries to navigate steps through a doorway at a Detroit polling location.
“Dessa Cosma from Detroit Disability Power says that being able to vote in-person without barriers is a democratic issue, but the state of polling location accessibility now is not acceptable.
‘I can tell you as a disabled voter, it is frustrating and demoralizing and dehumanizing to go exercise my right to vote and realize that people weren’t prepared for me to show up,’ Cosma said. ‘When they were thinking about who mattered and people they needed to set up their day for, I wasn’t on their list.’
Detroit Disability Power plans to conduct another audit of metro Detroit’s polling locations for the general election in November.”
