Does that mean that we can help a journalism major?
So I guess it’s OK for Dr Jill to help Joe vote.
Good Grief.
Would the woman even know if she voted or not?
These people think they are running the Soviet Union now.
KommieLa desperately needs the NURSING HOME vote.
The Slimes is talking about their mentally incapacitated relatives who work for the Slimes.
Does he mean the Trump hating idiots in my family and friends? All the New Yorkers?
It is illegal to vote for someone else for any reason.
There is NOTHING the DemocRATS won’t do to win. There is little the Republicans WILL do to win.
What he describes (interpreting the will of a voter who lacks the mental capacity to express it) is illegal under Election law in--as far as I know--all states in the U.S.
Are these "Affikan Efficks?" They're certainly not American.
evil question. evil answer.
“”””“When the situation is hazy, my inclination would be to err on the side of helping someone to vote, because voting is such a central form of civic participation,””””
What a bunch of BS. Most states have laws that those deemed incompetent cannot vote.
Just because an incompetent person who has not been deemed incompetent does not mean that someone else can vote for them.
Bkmk
That “ethicist” is unethical.
Say what?
My sainted mother (RIP, June 2011 at 91) last voted in the 2008 election. In 2008 she was slipping clearly into early dementia. She got a mail-in ballot that year.
I helped her mark what she wanted as far as candidates and ballot propositions went. I did my best to explain to her what was what and made sure she understood as best she could, which really was decent enough. We skipped a lot of items she was not interested in thinking too much about or just didn’t care about.
I would mark what she said and then show each time I marked something to verify to her that I had marked what she wanted.
We skipped a lot. Unfortunately, to me, she knew she definitely wanted to vote for Obama. So, I dutifully, agonizingly, marked “Obama” on that line of the ballot.
I sealed the ballot, she slowly put her best signature on the outside envelope and slowly dated it herself, me telling her the date. I took it to a ballot drop box inside city hall and dropped it off.
Morons for Harris. Check.
I worked for a Demoncrat Congresscritter in the mid-1980’s.
There was a organized effort THEN to drive vans out to the nursing homes - they actually had MANY nursing homes designated as polling places for convenience - where they would pick up “the gomers”...voters that weren’t all there...and “help” them vote.
They still had a lot of the old style voting booths back then with the curtain you closed for privacy. It was pretty obvious that the voter didn’t have the slightest idea what was going on in most cases and that the helper got to cast their ballot over and over again.
They literally justified it as making voting accessible to senior citizens.
You can assist someone fill out a ballot. The ethical issue is filling it out against the person’s wishes. I recommend you assist an elderly relative according to that person’s wishes. You do not want someone else to “assist” who does not respect the person’s wishes.
NYT and their democrat overlords says to destroy your meemaw's beliefs, ethics, scruples, reason, logic and embrace lucifer then beat the crap out of meemaw, take her ballot and vote party line for democrats, reprobate judges, and any State amendment that promotes unbridled evil and fiscal irresponsibility. Ergo, vote like a feminist and a covetous emasculated male.
