I love it when people don’t know the law and claim to speak for it on behalf of others.

Many disabled citizens need accommodations. Paper only disenfranchises many with disabilities and violates federal law because of it.

Wrong.

She’s even got the answer in her wrong answer. Disabled citizens who cannot mark a paper ballot can have another mark the ballot on their behalf. That person is required to sign such a ballot.

If paper ballots violated “federal law” (I assume the ADA), then no paper ballots could be used anywhere in the country.

I can imagine a scenario where a voter could not use a “voting app” (gods, what a dumb idea). What’s the accommodation for that?
