Up here in Washington, absentee ballots for Alzheimer patients and others who are "out of it" are regularly voted for many who live in homes for seniors and handicapped. Invariably it's Democrats behind it. Once in a while they get caught. Wish it were all the time.

You know (OT) in the State of Georgia, it's illegal to vote if you've been dead more than three years.

I wouldn't say always Democrat. I have a friend who's uncle in Texas got two older relatives their absentee vote packages and both of the older relatives were fairly 'lost'. The uncle marked a straight Rep ticket. His wife got all upset about this act and made it a big issue.

I think its time we all come to grasp that some kinda of mental exam or test is required in order to vote. I know that everyone will say that this could be bent one way or the other. But I am tired of having this issue constantly come up. Based on current law, you could have over 100,000 mentally insane citizens of the US vote in national elections. What does this say for our society?

Where as when my son who thrives on the political areana registered as a Repub. was active when health was better had to go thru the hassle of why his signiture varied. He is a quad. cerebral palsy with a very high IQ. Gee I wonder if he could get in trouble for influencing the rest of the county to vote he goes out and reminds everyone to vote. LOL The younger adults who say they want to vote but do not know or have time to sign up my son says he is going to start carrying cards to get them registered.
