Nursing home in N Fl pushed incoherent patients and voted for them

[vetwife]

Our niece who lives in Jacksonville called last night as she always does on Veterans Day. She told me that 2 bus loads in a very republican county..Nassau County, had two vans pull up to the nursing home where some of the (Bless their hearts) seniors who were in wheelchairs and drooling even and could not even talk) hauled into the van and taken into the voting booths and the nurses assistants pushed the Vote Button for them.

The name of the nursing home was Quality Nursing Home in Nassau County and I don't care who they pushed that button for...Kerry or Bush..That is wrong ! To use our seniors and disabled in such a fashion to Get a Vote out ! If they were capable of a lot of things, they would not be in a nursing home ! She told me she would definately attest to that fact !

VAN LOADS OF DISABLED NURSING HOME PATIENTS CARTED OFF TO VOTE (WARM BODIES) I am sick !

I work for the Disabled but if these people were just used , and not coherent of the issues this is sad and how many other nurses home facilities did the same thing? I honestly think they would have dug up my dead Mother to vote if they could have.

3. yes Ive

heard of this but not to that extent from what I have heard from my mother a nurse of over 30 years, not this election but from the 2002 elections. One or 2 of the patients family members wanted there mother and or fatter to vote in it because they voted all there lives.
problem was both were in the alltimers unit and they came with absentee forms for them. now i don't know there swing left or right but that is a disturbing none the least. ( + these people weren't just forgetting minor things it was advanced. )

5. Some drooling, disable, speech impaired folks

Are still mentally capable of understanding and voting. Motor impairment doesn't always mean mental impairment.

The problem is it is very unlikely that there would be two bus loads from one skilled nursing home.

And the perplexing part is...why wouldn't they get them absentee ballots instead. The link shows this is a skilled, not basic, nursing home, why are they taking them out to vote? The scam would be less obvious.

On an absentee ballot of someone can't sign the person who does it for them has to give all their personal information. I bet they didn't have to do that when they helped push the buttons.

And did you see the lady who was stopped from voting because she had forgotten to check the box on registration form that said she wasn't mentally impaired?

6. This was my point. Absentee would sound legit

I agree about the drool and impairment, My sister works for nursing homes. I have advocated for the mentally challenged but this link and 2 vans seems suspicious to me. Very suspicious. Funny thing....no one was challenged for allowing the voting to be done. I know someone from Washington way up the ladder who worked for Prez Clinton. I intend on talking to him about it. I mean this guy is physically challenged and worked on the West Wing. HE worked on the ADA with Justin Dart and I am going to discuss this with him.

9. Glad to hear it!

They shouldn't be used.
The link you found of the home definitely increased my suspicions.

10. Sometimes I really think voters need to pass a test, right wing

as that sounds. It seems that a test could be devised that would determine that a voter has most of his/her mental faculties and knows something about political issues without discriminating against any group. Of course, I want to "discriminate" against those with Alzheimer's and those who can't be bothered to know anything, because I don't think they should be voting, the former due to a condition beyond their control, the latter due to laziness.
