Actually, the guy who was busted was still in custody

He wasn’t a felon. That’s what “not guilty by reason of insanity” means. He was in a mental institution and had a legal right to vote.

As for the mentally disabled, see this

These stories have been getting a lot of play here.

Wow, a lot of play, that’s convincing. I stand by my earlier assessment, you’re just whining about people exercising their legal rights.

Jimmy Green’s stepdaughter had never voted before. The 57-year-old is mentally disabled, and Green said she doesn’t understand the concept of casting a ballot.

…

Jimmy Green has not lodged an official complaint about his stepdaughter being escorted to the polls. He said he fears reprisals against her from the care home.

“I’m not holding up for either party here in this case,” he said, “but it’s just not right.”

LOL. Old man’s angry that his mentally handicapped stepdaughter voted for the black President, too gutless to officially lodge a complaint. So instead he’s talking shit to the press about her ability to comprehend her decision and you’re eating it up with a soup ladle.

Lame.
