Admirable but not likely to happen. If you want to be a constitutional purist, let’s go back to the voting rights of 1787. I’d be fine with that...and since the bureaucracy necessary to validate voter qualification is so hard for you to get your head around, perhaps we should get rid of drivers’ licenses too because it’s just so hard to administer.
Or, maybe you could just take the citizenship test at the DMV, just pick test A for driving or B for voting. Gee, that was tough.
But if you prefer to argue... If you want to be a constitutional purist, let’s go back to the voting rights of 1787. I’d be fine with that...
Doing such would require violating the Constitution of the United State of America. While it would be legally possible to make additional amendments to the Constitution which establish the voting rights you note, doing so without modifying the Constitution through the appropriate processes would be well, un-Constitutional.
I am beginning to have less patience with your lack of respect for the basis upon which our Republic based. Just an FYI.
Per se, what aspects of the voting rights enumerated in the Constitution as of 1787 (as unmodified by future legal amendments) would you find beneficial to achieving the goals of our founding father as it relates to establishing a land of justice which recognizes the unalianable rights contained in our Decleration of Independence?
Again, this question is the result of my lack of patience with your lack of respect for the basis upon which our Republic based.
...and since the bureaucracy necessary to validate voter qualification is so hard for you to get your head around, perhaps we should get rid of drivers’ licenses too because it’s just so hard to administer.
PLEASE, do not EVER type words and claim they are mine. I never have, and NEVER would, state that failing to validate voter qualifications is anything less than fundamental to ensuring that an election is valid.
If you want to change subjects, fine by me, but don't change them for the simple fact that you have nothing to base you opinion on.
Again, since you conveniently avoided it last time, should a veteran who had their legs blown off in combat, and can no longer pay taxes be refused the right to vote?
You stated in post 28 "if you don’t pay any taxes, you don’t get the right to vote."
Should the veteran have the right to vote?
Please, try to stick to the subject.
Also, please don't tell me that you think the DMV has any legal authority, or in any way should be arbiter of who should be allowed to vote in an election.
Unless I am mistaken, I believe that I 100% agreed with the what believe is the real and fundamental issue you posted:
Voting to limit another person’s rights when you have nothing at risk is another form of tyranny.
Again - I completely believe this. But if you want to waste time proposing education camps for citizens, or debaing the voting rights of people, I would recommend refocusing your efforts fixing the system instead of the voted.
Take care.
