I find that many Republicans just don’t realize how difficult it is it might be for some people to show up in person at the polls. Since it’s no hardship for them, why can’t everyone else show up at the polls all on the same day?

Some examples …. Older, frail seniors who cannot stand in a line for an hour. People who don’t have a car or don’t drive. People who work long hours or weird shifts. Caregivers to a disabled family member at home. A stay-at-home mom with small children. People in nursing or rehab homes. I know people who suffer from migraines who can be out of commission on any given day. I am sure there are more examples. *Everyone* deserves the right to vote! But Republicans apparently don’t agree. It is shameful. Mail-in voting and early voting are imperative!
