White House Rule Would Cut Funding Helping Disabled Americans Vote

Original: This White House Plan Threatens Funding That Helps Disabled Americans Vote

Critics, including ProPublica's reporting, warn the change threatens programs that help disabled Americans register and vote, and fits into the Trump administration's broader efforts to restrict voting access. Advocates fear it will sharply reduce turnout support for voters with disabilities ahead of upcoming elections.

Why now: A recently proposed budget rule is drawing criticism because it could strip voting assistance funding from disabled Americans.
