From yesterday’s Washington Post: “Florida neurologist Marc Swerdloff was taken aback when one of his patients with advanced dementia voted in the 2000 presidential election. The man thought it was 1942 and Franklin D. Roosevelt was president. The patient’s wife revealed that she had escorted her husband into the booth. “I said ‘Did he pick?’ and she said ‘No, I picked for him,’ ” Swerdloff said. “I felt bad. She essentially voted twice” in the Florida election, which gave George W. Bush a 537-vote victory and the White House.” According to the article, Florida alone has estimated 455,000 patients with Alzheimer’s, most of whom will vote in higher numbers than the general population.BTW, in the last post I used the phrase “somewhat on the fence”. This could give the impression of chronic indecision, of not even being committed enough to get on the fence. But this reminds me of whenever a Mormon or Jehovah’s Witness approaches me and asks whether I believe in God, I’m always inclined to answer that I’m not even sure if I’m an agnostic.
