I have recently learned that in my state developementall disabled adults have been, and will continue to be in the future, to the voting booths where they are assisted by staff in the voting booth. These people can not read and would not be found competent to serve jury duty. There ability to testify in court is questionable at best. And yet, they are encouraged to vote when they can't even tell one person from another on the ballot. It seems to me that this affords an excellent opportunity for the staff, who are over whelmingly pro-left wing nuts like Obama, to vote for whomever they want without anyone knowing the difference. My question is: how can this be correct?
“I have recently learned that in my state developementall disabled adults have been, and will continue to be in the future, to the voting booths where they are assisted by staff in the voting booth.”
How are they different from Democrats in general? They get led to a voting booth and vote multiple times, too...
We have that now, they're called "Democrats".
Alex, the question is “How did Barack Obama get Elected”.
It’s been legal for a very long time in all states as far as I know. It’s why in nursing homes those who can’t even remember their name are allowed to vote.
Goes on in NY, NJ, no doubt PA and all points east west north and south.
Where ya been?
Pathetic isnt it.
My aunt worked at a home for mentally-unsound seniors in Iowa, and she was aware that the home’s director registered them as Democrats and voted absentee in their place. All that’s required is a signature, and that was easy enough to get.
LOL, that was nasty!
Richard, maybe I missed it but in what State do you live? If it’s Califormaldehyde so much (such as Boxer and her evil twin Nancy) is now explained.
Just wondering, shouldn’t these infractions be reported?
Howdy cousin.
Liberals seem to be very good at embracing an idea that is a sacred cow, such as universal sufferage, and advancing it to well beyond the point of absurdity. Again, we find that their main reason for doing this is to advance their political agenda.
Hence the story during November 2008 where the police had to be called to a nursing home after a patient said she wanted to vote for McCain/Palin and the “worker” marked the ballot for Barack the Kenyan/Rimshot Joe. She knocked the guy out.
Can’t have a poll or literacy test....more unintended consequences from Civil Rights legislation....just like that fellow tried to tell us....whassizname?....oh yeah....Rand Paul!
Voting By The Mentally Disabled
Good rant.
How about....
Voting By The Dearly Departed
Voting By The Undead Zombies
All of this goes on. Whaddya gonna do?
Alright so I was in a hurry
Yes. And similar abuses occur in nursing homes. The staff may bully residents into voting the way the staff wants — always liberal Democrat — or they may take absentee ballots and fill it out as they prefer, even forging signatures as needed. These abuses are hard to stop because reliable witnesses and solid evidence are hard to obtain.
Yeah, what are we gonna do? How can this be legal?
Fortunately, nobody in the group home I worked in was sufficiently motivated to register the guys and drag them to the polls, but it did go on in other group homes.
It was a given that all mentally challenged people had the lever pulled for the Democrats. Republican staff workers would obviously find such behavior unethical on its face and would never engage in it.
