Jack Justice? Is there a “Bubba Justice” in this story? How about a “Bobo Justus”?
“Is there a lawyer in the house? Is there a lawyer in the house?”
I like it how election officials cannot go into the booth with them but partisan “voting assistants” CAN.
The solution is to put TWO monitors into the booth, one Republican volunteer, one Democrat volunteer, and both observe the actions of the “assistant” helping the voter to cast a ballot as HE or SHE intends.
This is their “drive for change” that they promoting.
People from states not in contention are asked to go
to battleground states and help with “organizing”, helping voters, etc.
Whatever you do, never Google or Yahoo, “nursing homes” and “voter fraud” at the same time. I just did and I’m sick.
Why did you have to say that? Heading over to Google now.
In adult care facilities and nursing homes, staff will frequently register their clients and then either cast votes for them or pressure them to vote the way the staff prefers. Absentee ballots are especially vulnerable to abuse.
In the half dozen or so instances that I am familiar with, this form of vote fraud was entirely in favor of Democrats. Unfortunately, this problem is both hard to combat and not on local Republican Party radar screen.
One of the big jobs for Clinton’s “community service” organization (Americorps?) was to go around an help the old folks in nursing homes fill out their ballots. Weasels in the chicken coop.
Here’s a legitimate case for the ACLU, so that means we won’t hear from them.
And if you put your tooth under the pollow at night, there should be a quarter there next morning.

find out who helped him and FIRE THEIR ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!
and find out WHO ELSE THAT PERSON “HELPED”
I worked as a poll watcher in the last election and a black church-chartered bus brought in a large group of older “mentally challenged” people from the nearby state hospital - and the aides went into the booths with them and voted all of them for Kerry. We could hear them telling the “voter” where to put the mark or even “helping” them by holding their hands, but there was nothing we could do about it. The “voters” were confused, afraid and simply did what they were told to do, and they would simply have said they wanted to vote that way if challenged. If they even understood the question; unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any IQ requirement for voting, and many of these people were functioning at about the level of 3 year olds.
I also saw this done in California years ago, where a union bus brought in a large group of elderly non-English speaking Chinese, who were herded in and voted by the staff from the city elder care center where they spent their days. The staff were Chinese speakers also and were even wearing Dem candidate buttons, so I assume we know how they voted these old people.
I was going to make a comment about how mentally challenged people shouldn’t be allowed to vote...but then I thought “well, that would disqualify roughly half the electorate.”
Roughly half the electorate ARE NOT qualified to vote. Guess which half.
In the case I am aware of, here in Wisconsin, the developmentally disabled adult lives in a group residence with another challenged individual and a rotating staff of attendents.
The attendents spend months prior to any election literally brainwashing the residents. These are men in their 30s who have mental development of 8-12 years. They work in sheltered conditions and can perform normal activities in a limited manner if they have time to practice them over and over until they become rote.
So, the attendents spent a lot of time coaching the residents to say/believe :”Bush is bad.” “I like Kerry.”
This time it may backfire as one is presently torn between The Incredible Hulk and Xena, Warrior Princess. If he becomes confused, he can turn violent in short order, so it is advisable not to push him too hard or he can end up chemically restrained.
I have also heard stories from nurses in nursing facilities about Alzheimers patients being visited by donk election workers who vote in their name for the donk. Nothing is ever done about it and it is common knowledge.
What liberal isn't "mentally challenged"?
The next time you witness this, at least video-photograph it and post it on You-Tube if at all possible.
That's exactly how we handled it when I was an election officer, except it wasn't volunteers. It was the Chief election officer and Assistant Chief; they are required by law to be from opposing parties.
