Time to wake up with the rest of us. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3243979 That wasn't the question. Yes, I understand that wasn't the question. But, if your vote is worthless, why expend any energy at all debating about who is allowed to vote? Dead people have a vote in this system! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 23593671 United States09/20/2012 12:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | read up on iq charts and realize that a large number of americans are mentally challenged average iq being 100-110 means a whole lot of people are below average and, honestly, 100-110 is bright enough to function in society but not bright enough for a lot of independent thought they're the "sheep" and the iq level is why those of us who are aware, who do think, will ALWAYS be in the minority it's not just a matter of "waking up" you can't wake up from being unintelligent and, yes, they vote |
| Artlicious (OP) User ID: 6348725 United States09/20/2012 12:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Several Democrats are showing up at the places these people are housed, RIGHT NOW, with absentee ballots for them. Im sure that happens on both side. I'm guessing that many of these people vote for whomever their caregivers suggest. However, since you did not have a link for you comment.. I found one.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 23593671 United States09/20/2012 12:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i think voting machines should first of all have a paper trail and have votes handcounted after to confirm results AND i think there should be a few random multiple choice questions on the bill of rights to answer on the screen and if you get half of them wrong then your vote gets tossed you have no business voting if you don't even know what rights americans have |

| Artlicious (OP) User ID: 6348725 United States09/20/2012 12:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hmm... I am still researching. but I just found this article from 2000 saying there are restrictions. I need to find something more current though, "Of the 50 states in our nation, 44 contain constitutional laws and statutes that bar individuals with emotional or cognitive impairment from voting," said Kay Schriner, research fellow at the Fulbright Institute of International Relations. "The only other group of Americans who face such disenfranchisement are convicted felons." [link to mentalhealth.about.com] |

Here is an article about the Mentally Challenged voting laws for Louisiana. 'Voting is considered a fundamental civil right, yet one that is often curtailed for the mentally challenged segment of the population. Though national advocacy groups have become involved in the issue, voting law is decided on a state-by-state basis."
