News today of those pushing registration and absentee ballot voting, and helping in the voter's selection. This in Florida and some other states where senior citizen voting could make a difference.
Apparently these people go thru the community and nursing homes to register voters for absentee ballots, and then "help" them in their choices.
Many of these senior voters have no idea what the issues are. Many disabled and not understanding.
This does not give me a real warm and fuzzy feeling about voting in general.
Especially after reading the 165 pages of the Official Voter Information Guide for the state of california. - So I've pretty much decited on the issues. Given the senior voter problem with the issues that are not understood by many of the seniors who have no idea what they are doing - does my little vote really count?
This is not a slam against Senior Citizens (I am one). It is a slam against those who would take advantage of the situation.
