In a tongue in cheek way, I wonder if Palm Beach County wishes they had a literacy test to assess whether a person was capable of voting or not?

Given the problems with the butterfly ballot, it's pretty obvious that a lot of people down there don't know how to read simple instructions.

Literacy test would be good, certainly citizenship proof would be helpful, and a statement of taxes (property or income) paid should be required.

As is usual with these major decisions, the public becomes ignorant of the fact that the argument in dissent is truly often more about the means obtained by the solution than the goals of the solution; more about the reach of the law than the objective of the law; more about fundamental issues of our government structure than any philosophical agreement with the error the law intends to correct.

Why?, because too many are soley obsessed with the result and too willing to ignore the means.
