Jack Justice, a mentally disabled man in Dougherty County, Georgia was taken by an aide from his adult day rehab agency to vote and the aide filed out the ballot to his own specifications, rather than Mr. Justice's. Jack has been voting all his adult life, normally his family takes him to vote. Normally if an excursion from the rehab facility will take place, a permission slip is given to the family, in this care there was no notice of the trip to the polls. [1]

When Jack arrived at the polling location he had the following experience with his aide. "They told me to vote for Obama, I said no I wanted to vote for McCain," He claims that after voicing his desire to vote for John McCain, the aide from Primus Industries selected Obama and turned in the ballot.
