Sorry, not seeing the issue here. Or anything at all out of the ordinary, for that matter.
Meet the Little-Known Activist Group That Has Tens of Thousands of Doctors Registering Patients To Vote
From psychiatric hospitals to the NICU, clinical settings have become political battlegrounds.Many patients at the Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute, an 89-bed facility affiliated with Pennsylvania State University, suffer from schizophrenia, substance abuse, depression, or bipolar disorder. They cannot complete the “activities of daily living,” the hospital’s inpatient clinic states. Some are “suicidal, aggressive, or dangerous to themselves or others.”
During their stay, which is often involuntary, patients participate in group counseling, learn strategies for stress management, have their medication adjusted, and interact with therapy animals.
They can also partake in a less orthodox therapeutic activity: registering to vote.
Located in a swing state that could decide the 2024 election, the hospital asks psychiatric inpatients, regardless of diagnosis, if they would be interested in “voter registration tools” that let them check their nearest polling station and register to vote online. Patients can also request a mail-in ballot with “assistance” from hospital staff, according to a pair of papers about the project, which began in 2020.
Since then, the hospital has continued registering patients—even those who are not near discharge and have not yet been stabilized—on the grounds that voting, as the institute puts it, is a “therapeutic tool” that “helps empower patients and makes them feel good.”
“Voting is an important part of the recovery process,” Julie Graziane, a geriatric psychiatrist who leads the hospital’s civic engagement efforts, said in a press release. Neither she nor Ruth Moore, the hospital’s head of community engagement, responded to requests for comment.
I repeat: what’s the big deal? Since when is it any big surprise that D卐M☭CRATs are barking-at-the-moon lunatics, pray tell? Candidates; Party officials and staffers; officeholders at every level; interns; Enemedia yap-dogs; canvassers; voters—it’s a case of like calling to like, seems to me, they’re all bugfuck nuts.

I’m beginning to think the elections in the old Soviet Union were less fraudulent
They still have more on the ball than Kamala.
They’re just priming the pump at the local Vote Mines.
The 2024 Election Steal is going to put the 2020 version to shame.
You’ll be able to see it from space.
Everyone needs to demand their state do the same thing that Virginia is now doing:
Virginia Paper Ballots ONLY
Good on Youngkin!
Absolutely kudos to Youngkin
I served as defense counsel in involuntary commitment hearings for 10 years. Most of my clients had and could express definite political opinions, even a client with an IQ of 65. That latter client could neither read nor write, but they could speak clearly and intelligibly and understand conversation – albeit at the level of a five-year-old child. And that client had political opinions – as I recall, the client preferred Trump at the time. I had one client who was so far out of it that they could not intelligently or knowingly waive the commitment hearing – that person would probably also not be able to vote or understand what voting was in the first place, thus they would be incompetent to vote – and guidance would be nearly impossible. Otherwise, all of them would be competent to vote. See this for a review of the laws -https://jaapl.org/content/early/2018/10/31/JAAPL.003780-18
