White House Rule Would Cut Funding Helping Disabled Americans Vote
Original: This White House Plan Threatens Funding That Helps Disabled Americans Vote
A new rule from the Office of Management and Budget would bar recipients of federal grant money from using it for voter registration drives, including programs that help disabled Americans register and vote. Critics, including ProPublica's reporting, say the measure is part of the Trump administration's broader efforts to restrict voting access, and disability rights advocates warn it could sharply reduce turnout among voters with disabilities.
Why now: The reported rule threatens voting access for disabled Americans, drawing concern from rights advocates during ongoing debates over voting restrictions.
