Originally only white males could vote, they had to own property worth IIRC two hundred dollars, which was a considerable amount of money at that time. I also seem to remember that they had to be able to read, write and understand the constitution. Those last three words would disqualify the majority of sitting judges these days as well as all elected Democrats in both houses of congress as well as many elected Republicans! The “president-elect” wouldn’t be able to vote as he obviously has zero understanding of the constitution.

Hi there, sorry for the late response. I do not think that we have competent judges here today to be able to decipher the criteria for voting.

Plus the politically correct mindset, like thinking woman and men are the same creature{another subject}, make it impossible to move forward.

The open mind is stiffling. Close them for the Holiday!! LOL....Seriously, I think IQ could be a good place to start save our limitations as a society today.
