Election day I will be bringing my 85 year old mother to vote.
She is a life long democrat with dementia and will need help with the new voting machines. Hope you all do the same if you can.

2. Just received a call from my 84 year old mother in law
she forgot where her polling place was :cry:. Then she called back to ask who should she vote for (she's a lifelong Democrat) :cry:. She has good days and bad days and still lives alone.

4. My mom is the same.
Good days and bad days. She lives close by so it really is not a problem to bring her to vote.

5. That's great that you can take her. We live a two hour drive
away and we are both working at our polling place tomorrow. My m-i-l will be okay - she is still driving, but she told me that she will walk to the elem. school where she votes. It's not far at all.

6. You and me will be doing the same thing
My mother still has her wits about her, reading will do that, but she shouldn't get behind the wheel. She never was a very good driver.
