The 80,000 Who Won't Vote

It rarely gets brought up in German culture and chat....but around 80,000 German citizens don't have the right to vote.  They are over 18 years old, and are noted as citizens....without a criminal record.  They are however, classified as disabled.

The way that German law reads....if you are guarded over or supervised (past the age of 18).....then you don't receive the right to vote...at least in national elections.  In German state or city elections...then yes, you can vote.

Oddly, in the past decade....almost all of the political parties have said they want to do away with the law and allow the 80,000 to vote.  Push to make that happen?  It's simply discussed and no one really wants to make it a top-ten type issue.
