My Mom worked the afternoon shift in a rest home.

She said it was the same thing every election. All the droolers got absentee ballots and the day shift made sure they were filled out “the right way”.

I worked as a part time counselor at a group home for adult mentally retarded while I was in college. The lib counselors were hauling clients to the polls in vans and telling them how to vote.

No problem: I would expect mentally incompetent people to vote for 0bama anyway.

But federal and state laws are very clear - there is no competency test for voting.

Maybe there should be. A person who is mentally incompetent to fill out legal documents should be considered as mentally incompetent to vote. It is clear they are in no condition to make a rational decision on how to vote.

If people in this circumstance have legal guardians then this should be against the law.

I’m sure the employees in such facilities are paid bribes by the Democrat Party in order to do this.

People who are not their own guardians should only vote in the presence of a legal guardian. However logically people that are not their own legal guardian should not vote at all. We do not let children vote who are not legally adults.

This is how pathetic The Zero really is.

He’ll take a vote from anyone, anything to get him and his like-minded minions there “revenge”.

Obama, I spit on you.

Fine. No competency tests. But if a person has been declared legally incompetent, that is, he has a legal guardian to manage his affairs, then he may not be registered to vote.

That is a bit ridiculous. You must be competent to enter into a contract. How does that not extend to voting? Clearly, liberals have made a "civil-rights" issue out of a straight legal issue, just as they have managed to do with voter i.d.

The Democrats have been doing since at least the 1940s. If it is a Republican district, parents or guardians have gone to the lengths of getting a judge to declare their child ineligible to vote, so when somebody tries to register them it is rejected. In Democrat areas they register them and vote them anyway, ignoring the court order.

We have that problem, too. Btw, she did get her proper i.d., and she did cast a vote.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) A 60-year-old Knoxville woman who has voted in every election since she registered at age 18 was stopped from casting a ballot in the Aug. 2 primary.

"According to The Knoxville News Sentinel, poll workers told Libby Miller the photo ID from the Knoxville Transportation Authority she presented wasn't sufficient proof of who she is.

State law now requires voters to have a state or federally issued photo ID.

After an hour-long wait at a driver license center, Miller who is mentally challenged was told the cost would be $17.50 for an ID state officials had announced was free." http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2012/sep/14/mentally-challenged-knoxville-woman-denied-vote/
