Wow.
Former Lawrence County Commission candidate Erica Douglas actually put this to print this morning, and is apparently upset that consideration for the rights of the disabled actually matter:
Erica is apparently upset that education for people with a disability might be a consideration for House Bill 1009, one of the education voucher bills. And apparently someone testifying against the bill for that reason this morning had the temerity to oppose her efforts at hand-counting ballots, because their efforts don’t take into account voting rights for the disabled.
Not only does she not apparently not care about the disabled.. but can’t even spell the word. And she’s sick of people standing up for the rights of the disabled?
Again, Wow.
She could have been an elected official, responsible for the interests of citizens in Lawrence County. And apparently, doesn’t like the disabled and their advocates standing up for their place at the table.
Keep that in mind for the next time she runs, because that needs to be hung around her neck forever.
She’s a nutcase. Well known in the community

Seems to fit the bill for the hand count folks.
How does handcounting affect the disabled? How did all our disabled WW2 veterans vote before electronic voting and there was only paper ballots and handcounting? I prefer paper ballots that can be counted by machine and a hand recount can be done later. I no longer trust electronic machine counting without hard copy back up.
Your lack of trust founded on baseless conspiracies does not constitute a crisis for society.
Unless you can provide some evidence that machines are negatively impacting voting accuracy, sticking with machines seems smart. Else, stop begging for money because propagandists keep pouring garbage into your addled brain. Enough already.
Hand counting does not effect the disabled, the people with sight issues that can’t see the ballot, that is an issue. The people who can’t read, that is an issue. People are allowed to vote without assistance. The machines make it possible… a little education on the topic goes a long way.
Can these election deniers be helped? De-programmed? Educated?
Ask our new President…maybe he’ll sign an Executive Order about it.
I listened to the testimony on HB 1009, and the most ridiculous opponent testimony was the one about disabled kids. The money might go to schools that won’t accept a disabled kid.
Yes, the country’s top prep schools for gifted children do not accept the kids with developmental delays and learning disabilities. That’s how this has always worked. They are selective about which applicants they accept.
The other opponents’ testimony was much more coherent. The proponents were light on reason and heavy on emotion..
John Dale started wandering off into the weeds and had to be told stay on topic, which was entertaining.
What, OUR John Dale had nonsensical ramblings? Damn. We better listen to his ideas on education!
homeschooling his kids has caused him to live in “abject poverty.”
How did John Dale physically get there? Did he hitch hike? Doubt he was mentally there.
he phoned it in
Did Mr. Dales bring his books to hand out for free or sell?
He made a last second pitch that he has documented his successful homeschooling efforts in a book.
