Today, November 4th is Election Day and it is an exciting day for your elderly parents as they get out casting their vote. Your elder may need a little help with the actual machines that the United States is currently using. All you need to do is ask the attendant at the polling place to help them. That is one of the functions that they provide.
In the Presidential Election of 2000 my parents lived in Florida (if you remember that is where we had the issue with the "hanging chads"). Well, Mom took Dad to vote and he went to the booth to punch his ballot for his candidate. He stepped out from the booth and shouted to Mom that voted for them all while he was waving his ballot!! Mom had to get the attendant to help Dad vote on a new ballot. They got him all fixed up and he cast a legal vote for only one candidate. So they are very willing to help your elder. You know it was funny, my Dad always used to say "Vote and Vote Often" I guess that day he did just that in the 2000 election. Gosh, I sure do miss him and his sense of humor. P.S. Today is Mom's birthday she would have been 86 :(
