"I could not vote in the voting location 2 different times because it was not accessible."

In Florida, you could have your ballot sent to you at home & mail it in - or call your Party headquaters & they will pick it up and deliver it for you..

Not sure about jury duty. I have not had to serve for the last few years.

In NC, on election day, if you are unable to come into the precinct, the precinct judge will bring a ballot to your car.
You can also early vote in a number of places or you can get the ballot sent to you.

We can vote by mail here in Texas too. My point was that people with a disability should have access to polling places as well as other government related functions like jury duty. I was just using those as examples. In general, government buildings have a lot of accessibility issues.

We can easily get out of jury duty with a doctors note but what if we don’t want to take the easy way out and want to be involved in our community. Government agencies see differently abled people as victims that need to be taken care of by a government program and not as contributing members of society. Unfortunately, many of us that are capable of working let a stupid government employee convince them that a government entitlement program is the better way to go. The goal of government entitlement programs after all is to get as many people on them as possible.

Sorry for the rant. But this a sore subject for me. I have made a lot of friends with other people with full time jobs that use a wheelchair, walker, or cane the last few years. I think it’s better for educated, differently abled people to work if possible and get involved in the community rather than sit at home and collect a government check.
