Nicole Noblet, facing an impending move to Missouri, discovered that her voluntary guardianship agreement would strip her voting rights, a realization that sparked her determination to fight for those rights.
The fact that states like Missouri bar those under guardianship from voting raises serious questions about the fairness of such laws, especially since they often presume individuals are mentally incompetent without proper review.
Many guardianship laws are outdated, relying on terminology that is not only offensive but also reflects a societal prejudice against individuals with disabilities, calling into question the legitimacy of these laws in a modern context.
