Great, even if I hijack my own thread. I worked at a nursing homes too. I hope you can be there on Election Day to report that the staff helps the patients with dementia to vote. I wasn't aware that they voted a straight dem ticket, but I was told by the nurses that the staff helps the patients with voting at Kings Harbor NH, Bronx, NY, Nov. 2001. My jaw hit the floor.

I remember this mentioned on FoxNews some time ago, maybe after the last election.
The Dems perpetrate voter fraud everywhere. I vaguely remember that they were so brazen, they even filled out ballots in advance and got people in nursing homes to sign, when they had no idea what they were doing.
I have seen that happen also. What else is new. Democrats are unsavory.
Since it's your thread, I can participate in the hi-jacking. :-)
I work for the Board of Elections in MD on their nursing home project. We go around to nursing homes to help the residents vote absentee ballots. Part of the reason that the project was started was because some people thought that the activity directors were just using voting as an "activity" and were pretty much controlling the votes. I don't know if that's true, but I do know that in some nursing homes, people who don't even know their own name vote. And, yes, they mostly vote Dem.
On the other hand, there are people there who are mentally sharp, but physically limited. They watch tv, go to speeches by candidates, and really know who they want to vote for. Those people deserve a vote.
I don't know how we sort them out.
