ShareNSCIA-TV Interviews Voters about Disability during this Election
As part of her trip to the polls this week, NSCIA Communications Associate Santina Muha brought her interviewing skills and a video camera on behalf of NSCIA-TV and spoke with voters in Branchburg, NJ about the issues that were most important to them in this election. Specifically, Muha asked whether or not disability issues were a factor for them when voting. The economy was the most common response when asked what issues helped determine a vote. When asked about the importance and quality of disability coverage during this election, answers varied as each individual had a different level of connection with disability. For some, it was very important while others had not considered such issues at all.
The actual act of voting went smoothly for Muha this year, who was pleased with the process. "This was my second time voting in a presidential election," said Muha, "and last time, even though I was told I was going to an ‘accessible polling location,' I was sent into the voting booth with a volunteer who pressed the buttons for me since I could not reach. This year, the booth was simply and quickly lowered and I was able to vote by myself for the first time!"
