Don't Mess With Disabled Texans' Votes.
Texas knows how to treat its disabled citizens right—no federal intervention needed. Now, Texans with disabilities can blow their own doggone horns and get themselves to the polls. If they don't like it, well, they should've thought of that before they filled out them thar paperwork, claimin' disablement and whatnot. Yeehaw!

The 2024 election is approaching, and Texans are gearing up to cast their votes for various local, state, and federal positions. It's our God-given right to vote, and no liberal snowflake can take that away.
Our nation's history is littered with the brave battles fought to secure voting rights for all. From the first presidential election in 1789 (https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/1789) to the civil rights movement, Americans have shown time and again that we won't let anyone trample on our freedoms. Despite the best efforts of the left-wing mob, Americans prevail.
Even today, we see the left trying to suppress the vote. They want to keep people of color and conservatives from having a say. It's a disgrace! And don't get me started on their attempts to erase our history and cancel our heroes.
Women, too, had to fight for their right to vote. Thank God they succeeded in 1920 with the 19th Amendment. It's a reminder that we can't let the leftist agenda take away our guns or our rights.
Here in Texas, we've led the way in ensuring voting accessibility for our disabled community since 1999. We're not gonna leave anyone behind! So, my fellow Texans with disabilities, here's what you need to know about exercising your sacred right:
Help America Vote Act (HAVA)
In 2002, Congress passed HAVA (https://www.eac.gov/about/help_america_vote_act.aspx) to improve voting systems and access, creating the Election Assistance Commission. Finally, some bureaucrats doing something useful!
HAVA set mandatory standards for states, including:
- Provisional voting (for when those demon-rat poll workers try to keep you from voting)
- Voter information (so you know who's a RINO)
- Upgraded voting equipment (no more hanging chads!)
- Statewide voter registration databases (to keep those illegals from voting)
- Voter ID procedures (no funny business here)
- Administrative complaint procedures (for when your rights are violated)
Voting options for Texans with disabilities
Federal laws like HAVA and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protect your right to vote privately and without help. But if you want to bring a friend to vote, go right ahead! Just make sure they're not some liberal activist trying to influence your vote. That's illegal!
You can also request an assistant or interpreter from the polling place. Don't let the language of the liberal elites keep you from voting.
Physical accessibility requirements at polling places include:
- Wheelchair-accessible voting booths (no one left behind!)
- Wide entrances and doorways (let freedom ring!)
- Handrails on stairs (we got you, patriots!)
- Voting equipment for the visually impaired (no excuses now!)
Early voting and voting by mail
Early voting in Texas starts 17 days before Election Day and ends 4 days before. Don't miss your chance to vote red!
Texans with disabilities can also vote by mail. Just mail in your application 11 days before the election and provide one of the following IDs:
- Texas Driver's License (no fake IDs!)
- Texas Personal ID or Election ID (issued by DPS, not some commie agency)
- Last 4 digits of your Social Security Number (better than a vaccine passport!)
Curbside voting
Each polling place in Texas offers curbside voting, with reserved parking and a sign to call for assistance. An election officer will bring you a ballot, and you can vote from the comfort of your car. It's like a drive-thru, but for freedom!
This option is available during early voting and on Election Day. Don't let anything stop you from voting Conservative!
