Of course we should treat handy caped people like humans, although this is mostly based on your personal opinion. Discriminating handy caped people could lead to discrimination of blind people, religious people, opininated people, etc. A mentaly hand caped person should also be treated as a human, because if you think about if you were handicapped wouldn't u wanted to be treated with love or respect. No one deserves to be treated like an animal, and this goes back to many classic books in which authors/philosophers emphasize supporting our fellow man.

Many studies and researchers have found people voting on race, party, etc. In a recent poll, 38% of people were unaware Obama's or McCain's position on abortion. This is basic knowledge; Only 52% were able to say Obama is Pro-Choice and only 45% of voters were able to say McCain is Pro-Life. Ignorant people trace not only to racism, but lack of time or willingness to further research details to ensure their opinion. Even clicking on the CNN issue page could get a potential voter aware in less than an hour. The test would only have to be basic knowledge to only ensure people did not only vote for a candidate, because they were a girl, African-American, etc.
