This election my 95 year old grandmother asked a neighbor for help filling out her absentee ballot. The neighbor berated my grandmother for asking for help voting for Romney and marked my grandmother’s ballot with an Obama vote and sealed the envelope for return.
When I heard about this I was irate - only to have my grandmother tell me that she received a call to let her know that the ballot was marked incorrectly and was invalid. The local voting official then drove to my grandmother’s house to help her correctly fill out another absentee ballot.
She got it right the second time and “voted for the rich guy.”
What was it that Obama said to his supporters? ... “If they bring a knife, you bring a gun.” - Barack HO
The neighbor needs to be reported. That was elder abuse and a violation of election law.
