ADA accessibility of East Chicago early voting site

Summary

A voter with disabilities complained the Carrie Gosch Early Learning Center isn't accessible, after bad experiences last cycle. The county's fixes (front entrance, no students in the building) didn't fully satisfy advocates, who pushed for the public library instead — but the Board kept the school a week before early voting begins.
