A disabled Bernie Sanders Supporter raised a good point
on Reddit
The Bill Clinton rally that blocked polls also violated the Americans with Disabilities Act and the mayor authorized it.
To me, this rally violated voting law as I understand it in three ways, but I haven't seen any attention given to my third point here. Can my fellow Sanders supporters help raise awareness for this issue?
There was electioneering inside and outside the poll. This is clear from the videos we've all seen and discussed, no matter what the officials say today. There is video and photographic evidence.
Access to the poll was blocked for voters who wished to enter. This was an inappropriate place for an ex-president to appear on election day. It caused traffic jams and blocked access to the polls and parking lot. This likely disproportionately affected working class voters who could only vote on their lunch hour.
The FEDERAL Americans with Disabilities Act has very strict guidelines for access to the polls. This rally was apparently authorized by Mayor Marty Walsh and he needs to be held accountable for not following federal law for DISABLED access to the polls. People who were there said they had to walk quite a ways past the crowds to get to the polls. The videos fairly clearly show a barricaded parking lot and I believe the anecdotal accounts about voters having to walk past that huge crowd.
I wonder if single-payer healthcare is more important to the elderly and disabled? This is why we have these laws. No class of voter should be unfairly suppressed through such shameful tactics.
I remember when growing up in Republican Orange County, rent-a-cops were posted outside of polling places, intentionally dressed to resemble immigration officials to help scare off the Latino vote. Laws were passed to prevent that. This is the same thing, whether it's suppressing the votes of those who live in this area, or the elderly and disabled. Mayor Walsh should be ashamed.
I reported this ADA violation to the feds and hope they take action before anyone tries this again. I do not know what the penalties are for a mayor who willfully disregards federal ADA guidelines, but that $20 law all y'all like to cite doesn't apply to actually physically blocking access to the polls. This is federal law, not state.
Here are the rather extensive guidelines for access to polls.

Hope your having a great day merrily.
As soon as my check from the Clinton campaign clears I'll send a few bucks your way
Somewhat, but medicaid/medicare expansion is much more important. Especially if they live in a conservative state that turned down Obamacare or are otherwise trying to cut medicare and medicaid. My state flatly refuses to expand medicaid. They rejected the ACA outright and will not budge, even though with Obamacare they could get the expansion essentially free for, I think, ten years or something like that.
He's not blocking anything at all..........
on you. Being disabled I got my hair up when some people just decide matters like this are unimportant and trivial. 
Constant unrelenting pain makes one very defensive and at times it is hard to control my emotions. I hope you can understand
and should of never been there..... BTW I myself have a few of disabilities some of which was caused by when my neck collapsed and I suffered Hydrocephalus. So now my headaches have not stopped since that time. That said thank you for your little because that is how my head has felt since 2012.
"People who were there said they had to walk quite a ways past the crowds to get to the polls. The videos fairly clearly show a barricaded parking lot and I believe the anecdotal accounts about voters having to walk past that huge crowd."
fwiw, i'm in in MA, on the north shore, and was appalled to hear about clinton's shenanigans. everyone here was utterly disgusted; it was blatant and brazen, not to mention highly illegal.
for other posts, i'm mentioned the following points, but to reiterate:
i was asked to remove my bernie button and my buddy was asked to remove his bernie cap. because they are political symbols. i have to doubt there is a more international known political symbol on the planet that bill clinton; i daresay i needn't say more.
so yesterday i contacted the following offices:
mayor walsh, by phone and email (thru online contact page)
MA AG office of maura healey, also by phone and online email
also thru the AG office, i filed a consumer complaint against the 2016 hillary campaign/bill clinton. not at all sure what will happen with that, but - so you'll know - it asks for monetary demands, should they take up the complaint; i asked for $27. 
i have no doubt there is a similar complaint form you can file thru the ADA, so i would certainly look into that, and asap. it appears this story has already left headline status.
thx again.
It helps if it comes from someone from the state!

sharing your experience with us and with the authorities. I hope Hillary honors your request of $27 BTW I believe Ashley Williams should ask for her 500 bucks back since she was not allowed to stay at the fundraiser.
that I found this on Reddit. I was in no way trying to take credit for your post. As you can see there are no edits at all to the post. I wanted your story to get as many views as possible. If I had a Reddit account I would of contacted you before posting. I will delete the post if you like. BTW you guys in the Sanders For President subreddit are doing a wonderful job and an old cripple like me appreciate your efforts 100%

on Hardball just now someone said poor Bill was just hobnobbing................
