Voting from a hospital bed in Fort Worth will be easy for the patients
"I'm voting for whoever promises not to trip over all these cords."
The Tarrant County elections office is making it possible for people hospitalized at Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital to vote on Tuesday (Nov. 4), if they're still flat on their backs.
But the process depends on the benevolence of volunteer witnesses who will assist the patients in filling out and signing a form which must then be delivered to the election center, where the volunteers then pick up an official ballot, take it back to the debilitated voters, allow them to fill it out and then zoom the ballot back to the election office before 5 p.m.
The rules for dead people voting are even more cumbersome - but that's another story.
