It's illegal to vote the Graveyard. But the Dying and Demented ? OH YEAH !
#8
A friend died in hospice care this past June. We could not visit without permission from his wife although we could leave a potted plant that they would take to his room.

In my state, if you die after voting absentee your ballot is not processed unless you die on election day. The county checks ballots against death records and also with mortuaries.

Remember, although a few votes may be had by what cbelt3 describes, it is nothing, nothing at all, compared to the organized and systematic voter suppression that the Republicans are incorporating into state laws and constitutions. Most voters probably have forgotten about the scandal during Pres. Bush's term when Turd Blossom fired a number of federal attorneys because they wouldn't prosecute alleged voter fraud. This was part of the very successful propaganda effort to convince easily manipulated people that there is rampant voter fraud. Even efforts by the tea bagger 'True the Vote' suppression group will do more than all the votes that can be had from comatose patients.

But expect Faux Benghazi News to latch onto a dozen cases like those that cbelt3 alleges.

One more thing. I will be helping my daughter, age 22 with an IQ of 70, vote at the polls today. She knows who will get her vote in the presidential contest (she always votes against who I back) but knows nothing about the rest of the contests. I will provide her with information about those contests which I obviously can and do slant. Also, my wife asks me to tell her for whom to cast her vote on the down ballot contests. She is a university professor. She just called me as I was writing this edit to remind me to leave her a filled out sample ballot.
