When my husband went to visit his mom in LTC yesterday he was shocked to see her wearing an "I Voted" sticker. She said she voted. Not informed by admin prior or even after. We're assuming the ballot harvester was part of the staff, since they are still quarantining and limiting contact. Also, my MIL hasn't been able to write - anything - since 2019. We had given her a card to sign, she couldn't do it. I suggested she make and "X", she couldn't . I drew an X on another piece of paper, she couldn't even copy it. She has short-term memory loss and mild dementia and can't get out of bed on her own so I'm wondering just how she was able to sign a ballot? We've emailed the admin to ask for details on how they allowed this to happen. So, if you have a loved one in a facility who is capable of voting, please make sure you oversee this process for them or "someone else" will.
It is a problem if they are not capable of voting and a vote is taken.
I love my right to vote; no matter my condition I bet I will have a favorite; I will likely be dead 6 months and still trying to vote, but then I am from Chicago.
As divided as our poor beloved country is at this moment, half the populace thinks the other half is demented anyway!
I am teasing you here, but if you are uncomfortable, do call the LTC facility on Monday and speak with administration. Good luck; hope you will update us.
