I found out that the witness signature requirement means I’m not actually able to vote by mail. The process of voting in-person is needlessly burdensome because of multiple disabilities. But the MN Supreme Court said 🖕 disabled voters. I may not be able to vote this fall.

BREAKING: In a loss for voters, the Minnesota Supreme Court upheld a state law requiring absentee ballots to include a witness signature. As a result, absentee voters must continue to: ✔️mark ballots in the presence of a witness ✔️sign a certificate stating all voter eligibility requirements are met

It really feels shitty that my only choice is to subject myself to something distressing and injurious to me (voting in-person with this state’s absurd processes) if I want to exercise a basic right. Mailing me a ballot at all feels cruel when it’s unusable.
