“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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
Do you live in Virginia? I witnessed NOT staff, but volunteers that emptied the mentally disabled homes and had them lined up at the Government Center, Fairfax, VA. The “volunteers” were allowed to “help” the mentally disabled vote even though many of the disabled looked bewildered, scared and some half comatose drooling in wheel chairs. The “volunteers” were from a specific group (not allowed to profile) and I’m sure all the disabled voted 100% Democrat. I believe there is also a lot of fraud with the mail in vote as well here in Farifax. Elections have been won because of the mail in vote.
I have a “group home” in my neighborhood and saw them at the polls with a black caretaker who “helped” them-—mmmm, mm, mmm.
Geez, how do you think Obama got elected to begin with?
I surely don't know, but it has been going on for years, I have witnessed it in more than one state.
My grandmother, living at home and still considered mentally sound, was so disgusted by the Repblicans’ affairs, Newt, Henry Hyde, etc., that she voted to re-elect Clinton. She was at one time president of her Republican Women’s Club. She could not be talked out of this. She held our guys to a higher standard without any logic.
Yes, in most states idiots, the insane, and the senile can legally vote even if they can’t even tell you their own name or where they live.
They should be allowed to vote and be assisted by a family member.
