Surge In Voters With Disabilities May Influence 2020 Election



Let's make sure everyone is registered and getting out to vote! #CripTheVote

Significantly more people with disabilities cast ballots last year, according to a new report suggesting that this demographic is poised to have a big impact in the 2020 presidential race.

About half of all citizens with disabilities voted in the 2018 midterm elections, up 8.5 percentage points from the 40.8 percent who did so during the 2014 midterms.

Those are the findings from a report out this month from Rutgers University analyzing data from the government’s Current Population Survey Voting Supplement.

In 2018, 14.3 million people with disabilities cast ballots, more than the 11.7 million Latino voters that year and nearly as many as the 15.2 million African-American voters.
