Voter Ethics

[horst]

Heres a scenario for you,my wifes grandmother has lost her mind, and Im not just saying that, i think shes gone off the deep end.Anyway, she had an absentee ballot to fill out and wanted to vote for John Kerry.When asked why she said because he seemed like a nice guy http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Shes got arthritis and couldnt fill out the ballot herself so she had my wifes sister do it for her.So, would it be wrong for my sister in law to vote for Bush on grandmas ballot on the basis that shes nuts and has no grasp on reality http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif???

What you just read was all in fun, dont start hollering about voter fraud, she checked the box marked kerry and they wouldnt let me help fill it out http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I have thought about that, there are some people that for one reason or another lack the cognitive ability to make a choice based on any real criteria. I do think there are a lot of cases where someone else fils out an absentee ballot for them and essentially gets two votes.

I'd fill it out according to her wishes ...........................................and then throw it in the trash! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The news just last night said voter fraud is a felony. Supposedly some number of people were registered to vote last year in Florida and Georgia and several did vote in both places, which is also voter fraud. Ethically I personally would not do it.
