He Is a Victim of Voter Fraud

We're all victims.

This happens all of the time. In nursing homes the staff fills out the absentee ballot for the ones who have no mind left. I used to watch a woman at the polls bring her 40 yo Downs Syndrome son in and help him vote.They are not voting for themselves because they don’t really undestand a thing they are voting for it is the person who is wih them getting two votes legally.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

You sound like a democrat, that is misplaced compassion.

We have far too many people voting who have the mental capacity of a rutabaga.

Universal suffrage is the mistake which will finally destroy this Nation, just as it has destroyed EVERY other democracy in recorded history.

The vote is too important to be treated lightly. If someone can't pass a comprehensive literacy test they shold not have a vote. This would likely disqualify half of last year's high school graduates but I don't really give a Damn, we are being voted to destruction by idiots.

[Son House]

Yep, the rumor here is if they voted for the Democrat candidate they would get another $500 stimulus pay-out like under Bush, and they never got it.

[Radagast the Fool]

I certainly see your point, swampsniper. But here’s something else to consider:
1. Who writes the literacy test?
2. Who administers it?
3. Who monitors and stores the results?
4. Isn’t this going to create a whole new bureaucracy?

BTW, I’m no democrat.

Let me see: the person is where they are because someone else now has the legal right to make the legal decision that they must live where they live, but they somehow have the mental capacity to vote. No.

If they do not have the legal right to live independently on their own, because the law has determined they lack the mental capacity to do so, they cannot be said to have the intellectual capacity to vote on larger decisions in life affecting everyone.

Asking them to vote and taking them to vote is nothing other than exploitation advancing mythical non-existent “rights” of the mentally incompetent.

[Finny]

VERY WELL SAID!

[PeterPrinciple]

He was unable to name the candidates or any current elected officials,

That high bar would eliminate a lot of voters..........

while we have both guardianship and conservator ship of our adult child, many parents choose not to go that way. Some people who are unable to live independently do really have the ability to make their own decisions. While there are many individuals with mental retardation who are capable of doing something like voting, I really don’t see any problem with taking it away from someone who really doesn’t know or care what the whole thing is about, like my child.
