    He is making the case that nursing homes had 100% participation in some cases, and there is suspicion that the staff directed them, or maybe some third party gathered them and filled them out themselves. I would love to see the proof of that. It could also be that old people in nursing homes have nothing happening and the staff supported as an activity to keep them active and …well…it is their right. Could there be an example of someone who actually broke the law and straight up filled out ballots for incapacitated elderly…prosecute that MF’r.

      I work in municipal government and we have the busiest ballot box in the county outside my office, and I can vouch that old people fucking love to vote. All day long on election day and the days leading up to it, it’s a line of people, many of whom who probably shouldn’t be driving, waiting to drop off their ballot. They take it super seriously. I wish everybody was as hyped to vote as the elderly.

      Glad someone finally said they support their right to vote lol. The thing about nursing homes is that they often have targeted efforts to help people vote, since they often struggle to get to the polls. This can be an internal effort or an external one, from a partisan group or a voting advocacy group.

        I lived in an area where one of the voting locations was actually in a retirement home.
