My brother is blind and he INSISTED on going to vote by himself yesterday, rather than letting one of us take him (as we usually do). He said the poll worker helping him was very nice. I only hope and pray she was honest in marking his ballot, too.

One poll worker? I think that would be against the election laws in Ohio. You have to have two to aid anyone that needs help voting (which did lead to the little bit of fun with the brawl between the 75 and 73 year old election workers when the Dem one wouldn't let the Republican see the ballot and jumped on him when he tried to grab the it).

Oh know!!! That possibly did not go well. If you are front Texas it might not matter much...thankfully, but if this happens in swing states that is bad.

Is your brother stubbornly independant or a closet Dem.

Our county clerk called us to ask if we our ballots were filled out by us.

My signature appeared different and my sons mark was different (he has severe Cerebral Palsy and was VERY excited about voting (uh hum another man whose heart was captured by Sarah).

Now if you know anything about a quadroplegic with Cerebral Paly you will understand why his mark changes (kinda like an elephant painting with his trunk:) )

But the upside was it showed that there is honesty in the clerks office.
