Mentally fit to vote?
When I read the headline, STATES FACE DECISIONS ON WHO IS MENTALLY FIT TO VOTE, I balked. Surely people couldn't be denied a vote based on their assessed mental capacity? (No jokes about Green voters please). But reading on I can see the dangers of people being manipulated. Unfortunately it may be one of those situations that has to be lived with for the sake of a bigger principle.

The answer is simple really.
If you have the ability to register to vote (without assistance) then you can vote.
If registering is beyond your capabilities well obviously you are not up to making a rational choice on how to cast your vote.
