Updated Feb 23, 2021 Disabled People Had An Easier Time Voting In 2020, But Millions Still Had Issues: Report One in nine disabled people reported having trouble voting last year, according to new research. This is an improvement, but a lot of work still needs to be done. Disabled Americans had less trouble voting in the 2020 elections than in prior years, according to research published last week by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. The EAC report shows that the gap between disabled and nondisabled voters who experienced problems while voting has narrowed significantly. In 2020, 11.4% disabled voters reported having problems versus 6.4% of nondisabled voters. This drop is noteworthy in comparison to a similar report conducted in 2012 that found that 26.1% of disabled voters versus 7.4% of nondisabled voters reported having trouble.
