According to the Free Beacon, doctors at the Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute are using Vot-ER to help patients who suffer from schizophrenia, substance abuse, depression and bipolar disorder, and who are often involuntarily hospitalized, fill out voter registration forms. The doctors consider this part of the service a form of therapy, even though it's an inpatient clinic at the hospital. admit Most patients are unable to complete “activities of daily living.” Luke: Kamala gives in to the far left in first major campaign decision
Not only is this clearly unethical, but if doctors accept that a patient will not be able to carry out daily activities, how can the patient make an informed decision about who they should vote for?

“Vot-ER is closing this care gap with a breakthrough prescription: public engagement. By bringing nonpartisan public engagement into the medical workplace, we are empowering patients and providers to mitigate the underlying causes of health disparities. Together, we go beyond treating symptoms to address the root causes of public health outcomes and foster a healthier, more equitable society,” the organization said. stated.

Similar to patients admitted to the Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute, these patients were registered to vote, provided with information about polling places, and helped receive an absentee ballot application. according to To the paper on Vot-ER.
“This project demonstrates that VSAs are a welcome and viable resource for psychiatric hospitalized adults, and psychiatrists can play an important role in facilitating their patients' access to voting-related activities,” the paper states. Luke: Everything that happens in the UK is predictable and has implications for the US.
The Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute boasted about its voter registration efforts, according to A statement added to the 2022 annual report reads, “After realizing that psychiatric patients were often not registered to vote during the 2020 presidential election, PPI launched a voter outreach initiative and has continued it every year since, under the direction of Dr. Graziane. Dr. Graziane found that understanding these social/political determinants of health led to empowering patients and making them feel better.”
According to a report by the Washington Free Beacon, despite claiming to be nonpartisan, Vot-ER is “staffed by progressive activists” and “funded by progressive foundations.”
“And ahead of the 2024 election, he is leading a movement, backed by top medical groups and executive orders from the Biden-Harris administration, that is turning medical centers into political battlegrounds,” the Washington Free Beacon said.
What makes this thread eerily credible to me is that the details fit perfectly with standard procedure for the Biden-Harris Administration, which is partnering with numerous left-leaning nonprofits to push their most extreme agendas.

“It's very easy to inject political undertones into these conversations,” pediatrician Kristen Walsh told the outlet.
“It's effectively sending a signal to patients about how you want them to vote,” she said, “and it's really disrupting the patient-physician relationship.” Luke: State commission wins election integrity, could secure Trump victory
According to the Washington Free Beacon, Vot-ER not only enrolls patients from psychiatric hospitals, but also from cancer hospitals, emergency rooms, substance abuse clinics and palliative care units. A psychiatry lecturer at Yale University School of Medicine told the outlet that Vot-ER's practices are “inappropriate.”
“I can't express to you how inappropriate this is. It's a disgrace to the role of the physician,” she said.

This organization ishelped“Since 2020, more than 89,000 patients have voted. How many of them have registered and received absentee ballots without any idea what they're doing? Doctors should have no involvement in voting issues whatsoever, but Americans learned firsthand in 2020 that our health care system is controlled by extremists.” Luke: Report says left-wing election meddler mastermind is behind 'fake news' operation to push party narrative
Of course, the left will claim they are trying to help, but it just so happens that the left is based in the key electoral college states, the swing states. They trumpet their love for “Democracy” (with a capital D), while disparaging it at every turn. I don't need to tell you how repulsive it is that doctors are participating in this obviously partisan election planning. Patients deserve proper professional care. Now, every time your elderly grandmother or mentally ill uncle is hospitalized, you have to be careful that they are not getting “help” with voter registration.
