that the answer he wanted is no? Hint: It's not there.

And no, he didn't ask, "... if the mentally ill should be allowed to vote" No where in the OP is the term "should" used. Maybe you should try to read a little more carefully.

Clearly you are way off base here. You should apologize or delete your post.
