The only reason I can think of for the mentally ill or the mentally disabled being not allowed to vote is a previous felony conviction, or a disruption of the polling place.

There are not many. Democrats tend to be professional-person freedom and Republicans tend to be professional-government potential. There are Democrats and Republicans on the two sides of the subjects you reported. the proper decision, as consistently, is to vote the subjects and not the party. Democrats, usually, might locate abortion and gay rights to be very own freedom subjects, jointly as Republicans might view then as valid extensions of government potential. conflict and the dying penalty tend to be widespread by potential of Republicans as a tutor of government potential. of direction, the perspectives of the Democratic and Republican events selection, each and every so often very much, from the perspectives of those calling themselves a Democrat or a Republican.

Yes. Just because they aren't all there in the head doesn't mean that they shouldn't be able to vote. They have to live in this country too. They just may need a little help filling it out but yes I believe that they should be able to vote.

I am not sure, I guess it depends on the degree, if you hold their hand and place it over the ballot you want, I guess then no.
If they can go inside the booth and pull or select the candidate
I guess sure. Please check with the authorities.
I think the most important thing is that they are alive and walking,
unlike the dems attempt recently....having the dead vote.

Mentally ill or not. They are still people and if they properly understand, they have just as much right as everyone else to vote.
man, women, white, black. doesnt matter.
