A recent article in Wisconsin Watch— “We’re not going to be quiet; disability community in Wisconsin demands better access to voting” by Nora Eckert, published earlier this week, shows just how difficult voting can be for disabled people, and casts some light on why Wisconsin is ranked 44th of all the states in the disability gap—the turnout of people without disabilities compared to those with disabilities. The article in Wisconsin Watch spotlights interviews with a number of experts and disabled voters. Representative Jimmy Anderson, a member of the Wisconsin Assembly, representing the 47th district, is featured in the article. He joins us on the line to discuss disability and voting rights.
