I can’t believe I’ve been voting for 24 years (just mailed off my absentee, only had 3 things on the ballot: President, U.S. House and our unopposed buffoon of a Dem State Rep, I wrote in her prior GOP opponent). Although at 18 in 1992, I was way more informed than probably 99% of the electorate.
Anything where you’re voting on the power to tax (and hence the power to destroy), voting MUST be a privilege and not an explicit right, and should be only for those producing wealth who have skin in the game, not for those taking, and certainly not for the bulk of those (save military/law enforcement/emergency) employed by the government. You’d have a swift return to responsible governance again as the Founders wanted, no more tens of trillions of dollars in debt or strange Marxist foreign-raised agitators or crooked feminist lawyers in high office.
At the least, no one on welfare.
And I’d have an intelligence test, English literacy, basic math, history, civics, GED stuff. No spelling or grammar or anything hard like that. ;d
Should someone be allowed to choose a Senator if they don’t know what a Senator does? I say no.
