How is he capable of voting?

Or do they straight ticket the ballot per registration?

A local democrat committee woman used to fill out absentee ballots in nursing homes for victims of dementia, until the authorities ordered her too stop.

Someone should investigate voting in nursing homes, especially critical car nursing homes.

Do people suddenly become more devoted voters when they go to a nursing home, do the party registration rates look normal?

Do dementia patients and coma patients, etc. become dedicated voters, never missing registering and voting?

Kamalama will get 110% of the assisted-care votes. At a minimum.

Oh, you know the answer to that! There were some nursing homes I believe in Michigan or Minnesota, where the voting rates were 100% for you know who!

The ONLY way you will ever stop this cheating is to publicly execute the perps.

People in NYS with Stage I dementia are still allowed to drive.

Dementia patients can still be legally competent.

I would take our family members who were suffering from dementia to vote when they still wanted to do so.

When they stopped wanting to vote, I then made damn sure that nobody voted for them.

And then I checked to ensure that nobody had.

The right thing for the family of a dementia patient is to remove that person from the voter rolls.

If a person is in a facility because of dementia, the family should be considerate and simply remove the person’s name for the voter lists.

You have to watch!

When my mother was in a nursing home, the nurse tried to fill out her absentee ballot right in front of her.

Fortunately, see was physically, not mentally, impaired so she protested.

This was not a one-off!

Yes, merely because a person is diagnosed with dementia does not make them incompetent. However, if they are at the point where they must be in a nursing home (because of the dementia), that implies an advanced stage of dementia. And they certainly should not vote. (Or allow someone else to vote for them.)

Being in a residential care facility, even a memory care facility, does not remove a person’s right to vote.

If a family member wants to deprive another of their right to vote, they’d better clear that with the family member, and/or get legal and medical advice.

Otherwise anyone attempting to disenfranchise their family member will deserve what they get.

I’ve heard that this happens a LOT in nursing homes. I haven’t heard that it’s the homes’ employees doing it, but RAT operatives going in under the guise of of other reasons. I guess both ...

It can’t happen without the people running the facility being aware of it.

Keep in mind that these are the same facilities that took sick CoupFlu patients back from hospitals when governors ordered it done even though Trump had had his CMS relax regs allowing facities the ability to refuse.

Never forget that if you have a loved one in residential care.
