It is a very underreported story, but the DemocRATS have been all over nursing homes and mental health facilities securing patient votes.

"It is a very underreported story, but the DemocRATS have been all over nursing homes and mental health facilities securing patient votes."

I recall this from the last election. It is very sad that such poor people are being used. My dear departed mother-in-law voted Dem until her dying day. She didn't know where she was or who was running, but she had enough left to know that she was supposed to vote--DEM! It really aggravated me that she was so used by the Dems. I know that it is practically heresy to suggest, but I do believe there should be some sort of test of mental capacity before voting (and driving!).

To me this just doesn't make any sense--having the senile and mentally ill vote. Lock someone up because they don't know what they are doing and then let them vote? But I know it goes on. In the hearings for reforms in Florida one guy made a point of saying that signatures of nursing home residents don't match those on file, so signatures shoud not be checked. IMHO people who can't write anymore have proably voted enough.
