So, not saying people are doing it. But wasn't it in Washington a lefty was saying he purposely let the old people die so they couldn't vote... Are these people being purposely killed so they will vote blue in November?
People in that bad condition often have their absentee ballots filled out and submitted for them by care facility workers or activists (often helped by care facility workers) posing as helpful visitors. Nobody needs them dead to use their identities to fraudulently vote Democrat.
This is one of many reasons why absentee voting needs to be stopped. If you can't get to the polls and operate the voting machine on your own, you shouldn't be voting, because you're dependent on other people who are in a position to coerce you or just plain fraudulently vote on your behalf. In most cases, you're also in no condition to inform yourself about issues and candidates.
If you can't get to the polls and operate the voting machine on your own, you shouldn't be voting,
Do be careful with your assumptions. Physical disability does not equal mental disability. Requiring assistance with machines or needing an elevator to get to the voting areas in schools or churches does not make someone incapable of voting.
And we should make sure that there are polling places that work for people with physical disabilities. We don't need to maintain the current system where everybody is automatically assigned to a single polling place based on their home address.
With current technology, it shouldn't be that hard to offer different ballots at the same polling place. I'd be all in favor of setting up polling places in large assisted living facilities, and letting anyone who needs special accommodations use those polling places as long as they can get there. There's no reason transportation can't be offered by groups that are concerned about mentally competent people with physical disabilities being disenfranchised for lack of accessible transportation.
But when push comes to shove, life is unfair, and destroying the integrity of our elections in an effort to make life fair for every single person, is not the right approach. Disabled people's legitimate votes are neutralized by fraudulent votes, just as much as nondisabled people's legitimate vote are neutralized that way, through the inherently unsecurable absentee voting system.
If people are so disabled that they are unable to get to an accessible polling place and vote without on-site assistance in the voting booth (made as accessible as possible without compromising election security), then there is no way to secure their ability to cast uncoerced votes. Maintaining an absentee voting system for the sake of a tiny number of severely physically disabled people just results in effectively disenfranchising a lot of legitimate voters, both disabled and nondisabled. People who are severely physical disabled are inherently dependent on caregivers, whether paid or family members, and a huge number are exploited in many ways by their caregivers and others who have access to them. And that creates the opportunity for coercion with any method of voting which involves someone else being able to see what candidates the disabled person voted for.
Absentee ballots create a lot of opportunity for nondisabled people to be exploited too, if they're if low socioeconomic status and simply can't afford to lose a job. With no mechanism for verifying an actual need for an absentee ballot, people can be coerced into requesting an absentee ballot and then into showing the coercing party what candidates were selected on the ballot before it's sealed up and mailed. And the coercing party can insist on mailing it too, so that even if the person chose the candidates they really wanted, their ballot can be discarded by the coercing party without their knowledg (putting the voter at risk of being charged with election fraud if they suspect their absentee ballot wasn't mailed in, and try to vote at their regular polling place).
Absentee voting just completely eliminates the concept of every voter being able to cast a ballot in secrecy, with no one else able to see or confirm which candidates they voted for.
I have more than wondered that myself. There are a huge number of these homes or assisted care facilities where they are not bedridden even, where a number were infected or died right at the onset of all of this, from coronavirus. It is very weird, it is not publicized (which in and of itself makes me very curious - if MSM is not talking about it, they are most often absolutely hiding it) and you just run across other examples if some article inadvertently mentions it referring to a similar situations elsewhere, etc., or a Tweet mentioning a parent who was in one, or even in a rehab after a surgery, and died or survived it (I read a horror story about one like that recently, as well as an article abt a doctor who saved a number of elderly patients by giving them hydroxychloroquine and that article even said a large number of facilities had been hit). It really seems a lot more than coincidence, IMHO).
