Voting With A Disability
I am speaking as a representative for “The People” with disabilities if I may do so. At first, the most intimidating part of voting for me was walking into a voting room and observing people who all seemed to know what they were doing. If you feel like you need to bring a chaperone with you to vote, then please do so and do not be embarrassed by it all. Voting can be confusing, and you should not think about it too much, although I can see why and how one gets tangled in the net of contemplation. The older I get, the more I lean towards being an Independent because the older I get, I feel that presidential candidates become more and more like high schoolers: the name-calling and finger-pointing is getting worse and worse. It makes me want to pack my bags and just leave, which I may end up doing one day.
This is the first election that I am half of one percent confused about who to vote for. Some people who know me may even be outraged that I would even agree with half a percent with Trump. That is the problematic division of this country; we have cut the word “respect” in half like an onion. People, in general, used to be more respectful of other people’s opinions, but now that word is a half-cut-onion. When you go out to vote tomorrow, you go out and vote no matter what anybody else thinks. Your opinion will help shape this country to what you think is the right decision. This is why I started friendsofquinn.com, which is now inqludedu.com. What matters most is your voice and your choice. That’s what voting is all about.
Voters with disabilities are feeling ignored by presidential candidates:
