🚨 Republicans in Joe Manchin’s home state of West Virginia have introduced a bill to close many curbside voting locations and force disabled voters to perpetually wait until “no voters are voting or waiting to vote” at remaining locations.

This bill would make it harder for a those with disabilities, a protected class of people, to vote, forcing them to be perpetually at the back of the line until able-bodied voters have finished voting.
Under the bill, if a location has handicap access, then no curbside voting will be offered.
And if a curbside voter drives to another location because the line was too long, the parking lot was full, etc., and their previous location had handicap access, then their vote gets invalidated.
2020 voting had record turnout and long lines. If a person with a disability has to wait for the line to clear, it could take hours.
