Ms. Hoffman is also a person with compromised immune function due to
                    disability. Ms. Hoffman and other Cochise County voters with disabilities who
                    may need reasonable modifications that allow them to safety vote in person,

                    including curbside voting, must be afforded such reasonable modifications.


                    “All people who registered to vote should have equal access to do so in
                    person”, said Sey In, Staff Attorney. “In Cochise County, people who live with

                    disabilities and wish to vote in person on Election Day are currently faced with
                    the possibility of disenfranchisement due to the County’s blanket policymaking
                    curbside voting unavailable for individuals who may need it as a reasonable
                    modification due to their disabilities, especially given the COVID-19 situation in

                    Arizona.”


                    If other voters with disabilities registered in Cochise County are concerned that
                    they will not be able to vote curbside in the November 2020 General Election,

                    they are encouraged to call ACDL at 1-800-927-2260 or visit this link for how to
