Mitch, in 2008 my mentally incompetent mother at an assisted living facility in St. Paul probably voted. We never had her declared incompetent, but the staff knew she was completely out of it. They also knew she was so afraid of being kicked out of a place she liked she would do whatever the staff person told her to do. She literally didn’t know what day of the week it was let alone who was running for office. I was the responsible party. I never changed her voter registration when she moved. Somehow she registered to vote at her new address. I found absentee ballot application information in her apartment as well as an I Voted sticker on her walker. I was livid, but it was after the election so there was nothing I could do. Before senile dementia had set in she adored Norm Coleman but you can bet her vote went to Franken.<\/p>\n
I suspect a lot of this goes on. After all, SEIU represents a lot of nursing home staff.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I have a hunch this state could keep an army of investigators busy.<\/p>\n
It might be a good Obama “shovel-ready” project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
