Disability advocates are winning the right to plain language voting
When Daniel Francis enters a voting booth, ballot measures can be very anxiety-inducing: Many are above his reading level.
“If it’s using words that I don’t understand, I just kind of rush on to answer, whether I know what it means or not,” says Francis, who lives with mental disabilities including autism and ADHD. Francis likes voting at the polls without assistance, as it’s a way for him to feel independent.
