Democrats admit to “helping” people vote
By Brian Kirwin | Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 | PoliticsOn Election Day, no Political Party or candidate folks can be anywhere near a voter when they vote. They have to stay 40 feet from the door. But for absentee voters, Party people can “help” all they want.
The Democrats also tried to help elderly voters in those neighborhoods to submit absentee ballots, and that seems to have given the party an edge(Virginian-Pilot)
Why are there two levels of legality? If “helping” is allowed for some, it should be allowed for all, shouldn’t it? I fail to see the difference.

Off the top of my head I can thing of several reasons.
Blindness, Parkinsons, Parapaligics, the Infirmed, etc……
Democrats were helping blind people vote? Are you honestly advocating that?
Sign me up for that job!
Hey, I never said they weren’t helping themselves….
I honestly don’t understand the problem. Would you care to elaborate Brian?
Stephen, my point is that it seems that on Election Day, no partisan folks can be anywhere near someone when they vote, and prior to election day, partisan folks are bragging how close they were to those voting early.
Seems to me that it comes down to who is organized the best. Anyone who is trained on how to canvass knows that you are looking for people who are your supporters so you can make damn sure that they get to the polls on election day. You do anything in your power to make sure they get there. Even help them send in absentee ballots. We just weren’t as organized. It probably has something to do with “who” we had on the ballot.
Bottom line: Brian doesn’t want to let elderly, sick, paralyzed or blind Americans vote. Or Democrats…
Bottom Line: Mark lies.
