This is believable. It isn’t “voter fraud” in the strict sense, because there is no provision to prevent the mentally disabled from voting, or from convincing a mentally disabled person that one candidate is better than the other.

It should disgust us all, but sadly the democrats aren’t disgusted by it, and democracy doesn’t work well if people don’t have a sense of basic decency and morality. It is certainly immoral to steal the votes of the disabled, but sadly not “fraud”, (although I’d like to think that if you actually filled out absentee ballots for them, that would be fraud — don’t know how the “assistance rules” work, but I’m sure they are written to help democrats get more of the infirmed to vote the way they want).

If Republicans employed this process, the Dems would be calling it rape.

As soon as literacy tests were banned the floodgates were opened wide.

democracy doesn’t work well if people don’t have a sense of basic decency and morality.

"Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone, which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free Constitution is pure virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People in a greater Measure than they have it now, they may change their rulers and the forms of government, but they will not obtain a lasting liberty." John Adams

"It is certainly true that a popular government cannot flourish without virtue in the people." Richard Henry Lee

"Whenever we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary." Thomas Paine

"The diminution of public virtue is usually attended with that of public happiness, and the public liberty will not long survive the total extinction of morals." Samuel Adams

"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders." Samuel Adams

"... but a republic once equally poised, must either preserve its virtue or lose its liberty, and by some tumultuous revolution, either return to its first principles, or assume a more unhappy form." John Witherspoon

"A general dissolution of the principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy.... While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but once they lose their virtue, they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.... If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great security." Samuel Adams

"Without virtue there can be no liberty." Benjamin Rush

You can't get a driver's license without passing a vision test, which means you have to be capable of reading letters from a chart. Plus, you can't get into the military without passing a basic mental competency test.

So why not require those registering to vote for the first time to pass a basic intelligence test, and to at least have the intelligence, say, of an average 10 year old? The 'Rat hacks would throw a fit at such a proposal, insisting that they be allowed to take the test themselves or to "assist" the test taker because you can't "discriminate" against the mentally handicapped.

These sleazebags are wrecking the republic and proceed with impunity. Unless and until state officials such as attorneys general and secretaries of state get up the guts to crack down legally on election fraud and cheating and unless and until we the citizens demand that practices such as early voting, Motor Voter, and same day registration are abandoned and reforms such as voter ID, proof of citizenship, and even basic civics and/or IQ tests are instituted, we will continue to slide down the road to tyranny.

David Horowitz gets it!
