Senator Deeds is on a roll with extending the rights of voters this cycle. Way to go!
This is a terrific bill, I hope it passes. As a person with a disability/chronic illness that has in the past required dialysis 3 times a week including Tuesdays, this would be a great help when/if I go back on dialysis.
Yeah, we wouldn't want to pass any pro-disability rights legislation this year, would we? Shame.
