I am in a nursing home. I pushed the administration to get this process (absentee ballots and registration) started in early August. Somebody dragged their feet - probably a combo of admin. and MAT, so it took until 9/26 for the MAT team to show up. They only allotted 4 hours for a facility with 200 residents.
It has been suggested that my signature can be witnessed through the window. I was just informed that the MAT team will be back "in a few weeks."
To make things worse, the only way I could get any help was by going to the front lobby. I couldn't get out of bed that day.
I'm not at all confident that this will get resolved before Nov. 3.

Is there an organization...
... advocating for/helping residents of nursing homes with voting?
Hang in there...
If you're living where I think you're living (Macon County), I just sent an e-mail to the Board of Elections asking for help. Keep your fingers crossed.
