When my mother was in a nursing home in NJ, a Democrat came around to the nursing home and filled out absentee ballots for everyone in the home, they just signed their names. Of course if the persons was capable of making their own decision, they didn’t stop them. They just encouraged them to vote a straight Democrat ticket.
Sort of a twist on the old Communist mantra, “It’s not who votes, it’s who counts the votes that counts!” In your mom’s case, it’s who COLLECTS the ballots that counts.
We’ve got to make our elections fair, or they’ll be sending Jimmah Cahtuh to oversee them.
