This morning, the German Bundestag stood and had a vote over a change to the voting rights law. So now, via the vote.....those Germans in institutions or under 'supervision'.....have the right to vote.
Numbers? The news media says 80,000 Germans are affected and will get the right to vote. The range of this? Well....at one end would be emotionally unstable folks or those who can't handle stress well. At the other end would be paranoid schizophrenic folks, and those who are a threat to themselves or others.
Influence by the controlling authority over the new voter? Well....the law kinda stated that other than informing them of an election and providing basic information....that's it. You can't suggest to the paranoid schizophrenic guy that the SPD Party is 'super', or that the Green Party would be helpful for your political agenda.
Statistics to suggest how the 80,000 would vote? Non-existent, and I doubt if anyone really wants to go and collect this data.
How many will actually vote? That's another element of an unknown variety. You could have the case where less than 500 of the 80,000 go and vote in the 2021 national election.
Could a hyped-up national election drive some paranoid schizophrenic folks to be more paranoid or crazier-than-normal? That's a curious question. It's possible that you might even have two-hundred folks from one single institution who band together as a 'party', and forward one of their members to be a Chancellor candidate. This might catch on via social media and suddenly you have some fringe party appearing out of nowhere, with a paranoid schizophrenic member getting 7-percent of the national vote.
I'm sure that the Bundestag folks didn't mean for something like this to happen, but you often end up with consequences that you just didn't comprehend.
