explain how Republicans are trying to take their Medicare and social security and make them die in the streets. Help them fill in their absentee ballots if they are visually impaired or have difficulty using a pen due to arthritis, Parkinson’s, etc.

in my town are rock solid Reps. If you have some Repug employee or patient there, they could raise a ruckus. if someone wanted to they could accuse you of exploitation of the elderly. I used to work with the elderly in Florida and you have to really careful with that. I would call them first also so you are looked upon as a "legit" visitor.

i know seniors are vulnerable to con artists and scammers, so I understand the need for clarity. Hopefully enlightened people will help ensure the votes of the elderly aren’t ignored or used by the GOP to steal their benefits.
