Should dementia sufferers be allowed to vote?
As swing states with large elderly populations such as Florida gear up
for another presidential election, a sleeper issue has been gaining
attention on medical, legal and political radar screens: Many people
with advanced dementia appear to be voting in elections -- including
through absentee ballot.
Dear Michael;
This falls under the same category of those people who still somehow or other manage to vote from " beyond the grave".
Once you have " turned your toenails to the Sun" you shouldn't be able to vote. If you do you need to have a stake driven through your heart. Chicago to name one city has for several decades led the nation in "ghost voting".
So what's so unusual about about demented people voting in elections? Look at the results of the last election. Talk about dementia people voting! The results were absolutely maddening. You'd think with half a mind people could've done better.
