Just read of an 83 YO woman getting sick in line to vote in Florida

Please, if you know of anyone who is elderly and is going to vote, ask for assistance when you arrive!! Some states have curb side voting or other ways to help the elderly and those with mobility issues get in and vote without adding stress or burden to them. Take advantage of those methods!

If you can, please assist an elderly voter. Take some time out of your day, you won't regret it!!

he has failed to serve the public so thoroughly and so despicably.

That this man can hold such a high office says something unnerving about our politics.

Only criminal minds could create this kind of scenario to discourage patriotic elders
