White House Budget Office Moves to Bar Federal Grant Funding for Disabled Voter Registration
The White House Office of Management and Budget has proposed sweeping new grant rules to ban the use of federal funding for voter registration drives and related civic activities. The directive directly threatens long-standing, congressionally funded programs operated by state protection and advocacy agencies that help disabled and elderly Americans navigate voter registration. Disability rights advocates warn the change will disenfranchise vulnerable citizens with limited mobility, while the administration maintains federal funds should not finance registration operations.
