What happened in Arizona violated the ADA laws. People with disabilites had to park up to 1 mile

away AND then had to wait in lines anywhere from 1 hour -> 5 hours. All the County Recorders office had to say was they made sure the voting stations (that's what they called them) had wheelchair access.

Expect a lawsuit to be coming.

can't walk that far nor stand too long.

I better get a vote by mail ballot otherwise if that scenario plays out here in California, I won't be voting.

I would not like to stand in line for several hours, even though I am capable of doing so.
