What prevents you from going in the ballot box with your parents (as you can if they need medical assistance) and casting whatever you want? .....



The poll workers are supposed to prevent that for one. If you are senile you should be prevented from voting as you are not of sound mind.

Bad counter-argument.

Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) gives every voter the right to bring someone of their choice into the voting booth if they need help voting
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

This is about people of sound mind.

If they are senile they cannot make this choice. Senile people should not be voting as they are unable to make a clear decision.

Just admit it that mail in voting is to allow voter fraud.

Just admit you'd rather not let people vote if they can.

Dad still had lucid moments and, while he could not make his hands do what his brain wanted them to do, we were well aware of his voting preferences. At election times, I ordered him an absentee ballot, and Mom and I helped him vote by reading and discussing each of the choices on the sheet. We felt comfortable that he was voting as he chose. He had dementia, but dementia does not indicate stupidity. He had many very bad days mentally and physically, but he had not changed his views on who should be holding major governmental offices. If there was an item on the ballot that he just couldn’t understand or that we were unsure of how he would vote on it, we skipped it.

IOW, he did not know what was going on, they just assumed.

Sorry, this is clear VOTER FRAUD! The reason Democrats are in favor of mail-in voting.

Yes, if you have dementia you should lose your right to vote. Just like you are not allowed to sign a binding contract.

You would lose a lot of Republican voters if everyone with any aging-related mental disability was restricted from voting...

Maybe argue what the law is, instead of what you think it is. Sometimes the right to vote can be challenged, but you are not automatically excluded by dementia.

You cannot sign a contract if you are not of sound mind. Why on earth should you be allowed to vote in that state?

Should medical records have to be submitted to vote?

How would somebody know? Are the poll workers supposed to do a psychological eval to everyone?

If a person is declared incompetent the court could automatically scrub from the polls.

Poll workers do a basic evaluation. Same as I have to do as a notary at a signing. If it looks wrong you stop it pending investigation.

Simple stuff, really.
