This goes hand-in-hand with the recent report of Alzheimer's disease nursing home patients being taken to the polls by their spouse and the spouse gets to vote "for them", essentially voting twice.

Humourous, but a real problem.

As a volunteer at a nursing home, I took an 82-year old man to go vote. He had the right to vote but - he couldn't drive, couldn't write, couldn't remember his phone number or address, and watched CNN all day.

I barely could stand it.

The important point about this is that the institution where he lived had a group come in and register all of the residents, and get out their vote. I imagine this happens elsewhere. I shudder to think what else they told them after I went home.

But, that, under Ohio law is perfectly all right.

If we want to change it, and rule someone ineligible to vote, I think you are opening up a Pandora's box. They could have done the same thing with an absentee ballot.

We might not like it, but it is the law.

I think the DemoncRATS know ALL of the ways to cheat, and probably use them all.

A worse scam is "volunteers" who "help" nursing home residents vote absentee.
