Donald Trump Doesn't Want Nursing Home Residents To Vote

He's trying to intimidate election officials, and people who run and oversee long-term care facilities, out of helping infirm voters cast their ballots. And that's only the beginning.

Some ppl living in manufactured home parks lose their homes when space rents get too high. If they can't afford to move the homes & can't sell them, the parks may take the homes. Old homes also fill many parks bc homes sell for > they're worth & buyers can't afford disposal fees + $ for a new home.
