  1. As a disabled American, this makes me so angry! Thankfully I don't live in Wisconsin. But this is completely unconstitutional. How is it that people thinking up such laws don't consider the disabled community?? You know why? Because the disabled community is so often marginalized and not seen that it's a habit to not think of us. I'm tired of that. We have as much right to vote as anyone else. Shame on you all who make it harder for us to vote. 😡

  2. mainstream media is TRASH

  3. WAIT WHAT!?!???? Are you saying Republicans don't give a f*ck about the disabled !?! ….Must be a Tuesday or something.

  4. This is a disgrace and the Republicans are truly disgusting, vote them out of office.

  5. I work in property management…..most of these people isn't disabled they just want the money…… I agree if you can't go drop it off then you shouldn't vote

  6. G. O. P. Hi on nose candy Low. On. Humanity. V. T. O. ✌🏼

  7. The current law is designed to disenfranchise the fragile elderly & disabled population. These are the population the Trumpublicans want to eliminate from voting. Get rid of a little here & there.

  8. America should an will be a Muslim country.

  9. That's awesome there won't be any ballot harvesting in this election I will there of course the Democrats got an excuse we wouldn't expect them you want to play fair they rigged one election they won't ring another one

  10. Only affects those with mental disabilities who can't figure out how to get a proper ID

  11. We Pakistan 🇵🇰 is not servants of America .. bagger pdm is servants of America

  12. Take them to court and SUE ALL REPUBLICANS WHO VOTED FOR IT!

  13. Ukrainian civilians… hurry up and get out of your country, don't you know that right now Russia is retreating to destroy your home from afar.

  14. Soo… if your paralysed what are you meant to do. Conservative republicans are so dumb..

  15. This is an area I have been working on in Scotland, UK. We now have a solution and I am keen to discuss this with NBC as it could be utilised for some disabled voters in the US.

  17. Well…..we definitely need more secure elections, because we are seeing what happens when you get a mail order president.

  18. The GOP has become the party of hate, unethics and racism.
