This couldn't be connected with any effort to reduce the ability of poor black people to vote in an election, could it?

Nice kitty, nice kitty... couldn't hurt a mouse!

Well, stating that the voting places are not ADA compliant sounds better than saying "to cut costs"-- so why not spend the bit of money it would take to make them ADA compliant?

The county is 59.47% Black, but I'll bet it's much lower than that if you only count adults 18+. Or adults 60-80, who have the highest voter turnout.

43.8% Trump is high for such a "Black" county.

I can only hope for a time when voting is encouraged, rather than discouraged; and voting is made easier, rather than harder.
