College professor, late 60s, Southern College, told our entire Political Science class no one should be allowed to vote unless they owned property and had read and understood “Atlas Shrugged”.
I have never forgotten that statement.
Southern College is not the school, just a small college in the south.
I totally agree with that sentiment, but feel that paying into the federal coffers is practically ‘good enough’.
Ideally, I’d prefer voters to face a quick quiz at the polling place. If you can’t name your Congressional representative and at least one of your US Senators, you don’t get to vote.....
Or maybe the quiz can show up on the computer screen, and if you answer incorrectly, your vote isn’t counted. That would probably be the best way to go about such a thing.
