LGBTQ+ people face unique barriers to voting. Has this affected you?
Election Day is this week, and tens of millions of people already cast ballots by Monday morning.For many people, voting is easy. They go to drop off their ballot or vote in person early or on Election Day and no one questions their identity or their right to vote. For others, the election requires some work. One transgender person who spoke with LGBTQ Nation said that he has had his identity questioned almost every single time he has gone to vote. LGBTQ+ people face unique barriers to voting, but its not just the LGBTQ+ community that can be turned away from the polls. A lack of language access, purges of voter rolls, restrictive voter ID laws, and poorly trained poll workers can all combine to keep eligible voters from casting ballots. Add in reduced voting hours and early voting, long lines due to a lack of funding or closed polling places, and voting can be a difficult sojourn in some parts of the country.So we want to know what your experience has been like.
