The Aristocrats!

I don't agree with the Nursing home statement, but there is a legitimate concern about elderly people with dementia voting. Some of them don't even know the current year or who is running for president. Family members will take mom to vote even though she has severe dementia believes that we are in the 1970's and that Richard Nixon is president. I don't know what the solution is, but this is becoming a bigger problem as the US population ages.

This is a sporadic issue that only happens in some places. If you are going to try to block all seniors in nursing homes from voting because some have dementia and their families still get them to vote, then you might as well also block conservative lobbyists in rural areas who are know to harvest votes and stuff ballot boxes because there were at least a dozen cases of this in the 2020 election.

It's ridiculous. There are many seniors who live inside and outside nursing facilities and who do not have dementia or memory issues who have the legal right to vote and are still of sound enough mind to vote for people who will preserve senior rights and benefits (like social security, medicare/medicaid, and so on).

Those who are trying to disenfranchise the entire demographic because of the abuse of a few, are WRONG.

Most of the Republican senatorial candidates don’t live where they’re running. Actually several Republican senators don’t live where they claim, either. Like Josh Hawley, for example.

I can understand senators/families not living in the states they represent, at least from a logistical standpoint. If the work is in DC, it makes sense to live in/near DC. Which is a whole different thing from being REGISTERED TO VOTE in a whole different state than the one you (hope to) represent.

What’s the reason for Tommy Tuberville’s primary residence being in Florida?

No state income tax, no estate tax and easy carpetbagging in Alabama.

Josh Hawley has never lived in Missouri as an adult.

Cause I can't imagine many folks - outside of his network who feel obligated to donate - are inspired by a guy who can't even reside in state.

Curious how much this will play a role in the Senate elections:

What are you talking about? They gained a seat in 2022 thanks to Pennsylvania.

The most money doesn't guarantee victory but it sure can help. Look @ Fetterman.

2021 Senate = 50R/50D
2023 Senate = 49R/51D

Seems like a win fro the Ds to me. But maybe you have some alternative facts.

Wow. Hogan is polling really well in Maryland. Much stronger than I'd have thought. Maryland may actually elect a R Senator....
