| Maddy Hawkes @MaddyHawkes2 In 2010, the U.S. census accounted for approximately 56.7 million people (19% of the population) living with a disability. More than half of these respondents reported that their disabilities were severe. #macrosw #swo332 |
| Dr. Nancy Kusmaul @nancy_kusmaul This! We need all people impacted by the vote to be engaged. (All of us) #macrosw |

| Sarah Hinmon @HinmonSarah @VilissaThompson A1: There are 35 million eligible voters in the US, 1 in 4 individuals in the US have a disability, last presidential election only ⅓ of ¼ voted! We overlook a quarter of our population #SWO33218 #MacroSW |
| Maddy Hawkes @MaddyHawkes2 Disabilities are especially stigmatized in the United States. This has contributed to discrimination in health care, housing, and employment sectors. #macrosw #swo332 |
| Vilissa Thompson @VilissaThompson A1: Disabled people want their voices heard - you cannot afford to ignore what is unique to us OR how disability is a part of every social issue society cares about. #MacroSW |

| Dusti RW Levy (they/them) @heydusti A1 My state has one of the fastest growing disabled-elderly populations, and Medicaid funding is pretty dismal. Affordable and Accessible housing in Wyo is nearly nonexistent, esp in rural areas. #MacroSW |
| Maddy Hawkes @MaddyHawkes2 A1: The Help America Vote Act of 2002 requires the provision of at least one (1) voting system at each polling place within a given jurisdiction that is accessible to people with disabilities. #macrosw #swo332 |
| Maddy Hawkes @MaddyHawkes2 According to HAVA, these systems must allow for the same privacy and independence that other voters receive. #macrosw #swo332 |
| Aide @Aide38278342 A1: IT is important because we need to accommodate certain things in order for disable individuals to have proper access. #MacroSW #SWO332 |

| Maddy Hawkes @MaddyHawkes2 A1: According to Matt Vasilogambros of the Pew Charitable Trusts, many jurisdictions are returning to paper ballots this year, due to heightened cyber security concerns. #macrosw #swo332 |
| Maddy Hawkes @MaddyHawkes2 Read more about the issue here: https://t.co/pK0VNccBXX #macrosw #swo332 |
| Maddy Hawkes @MaddyHawkes2 This poses a threat to disabled American voters, as many cannot mark paper ballots without assistance. #macrosw #swo332 |
| SWHELPER @swhelperorg A1. It's important for us to recognize abitlity and transportant to the polls maybe a huge barrier. Absentee ballots maybe additional option for those who have difficutly getting to the polls #macrosw |

 | Carly Auchey @AucheyCarly A1: 1 in 4 Americans have a disability, that is a significant part of the population. Visibility is important. It’s not enough to “just cast an absentee ballot.” People with disability deserve the same voting experience #MacroSW #swo33218 |

| #MacroSW Moderator @OfficialMacroSW @UBittic Hi, Erin! #MacroSW - (just down the street here in Buffalo) |
| 👑Adrienne Garr👑 @adriennecgarr @VilissaThompson A2. The easiest way would be to talk about disability issues publicly. It seems like the only politicians that talk about disability policies are those who have personal experience with it. Everyone should be talking about disability issues #MacroSW |
