Ironic though considering he himself is wheelchair bound
More absolutely predictable than ironic, it will not impact him and he has no love for the disability community. I imagine he has a ton of internalized ableism and believes himself as different from other disabled people. He has a long history of doing things like this, look up his tort reform work. As a wheelchair user I really hate that one of the most prominent wheelchair users in politics is this fuck.
Hey, at least he helps demonstrate that assholes come in all flavors.
I am both disgusted and very disgusted by this comment. High five!
Probably has someone vote for them or doesn't need to vote due to wealth and status. I am guessing here.
If you're rich enough or travel enough (like politicians), you can just claim that you will "be out of the county on election day and during the period for early voting by personal appearance".

These laws are meant to impact the poor and the middle class.
