I think in this case, the polling place was at the convent, so the sisters did not have to go out to vote. I would also guess that they knew they would be turned away and showed up mainly to make a point. Absolutely, rules should be followed... As for Florida in 2000, I seem to remember that it was more a matter of votes not being counted (especially in highly Democratic counties) than of fraudulent voting that caused the turmoil.

If they can get out to vote, they are not homebound. Yes, no voter fraud was suspected but this is a tight race and you don't want to give either candidate grounds for suing or saying the rules weren't followed - think Al Gore and the FLorida election.
