AMEN...

You're actually in good company w/ this idea, but there are a number of reasons why it's a bad idea:

1. If 51% of the smart guys kick out the dumb 49% first, then there's nothing to keep the remaining bunch to vote again, and again, until there's just one smart guy in charge.
2. The dumb people have a right to pick their own leaders just like we do.  We like leaders that say, don't destroy America, that's our preference.  A dumb guy wants a leader that makes his leg tingle. that's his preference.
3. Dumb people make their own contribution to the group in their own way --there are some dumb things that are well, neat.   There's more to life than "smart".
4. America needs all kinds, including dumb followers, so we need leaders that are forced to take dumb people's existance into account.
5. Every once in a while --not that often but sometimes-- the dumb people are right and we're wrong.

But they did...and look at the results...

as usual, a lot of good comments
two new rules
1- if you get a gov check can’t vote.
2-one vote for each dollar of income taxes you pay.
with these two rules the rats would be extinct.

The human race is the only species to have bypassed natural selection. We coddle the stupid.

Worse, they breed. They’ve infiltrated education & government at every level (and the highest).

We’re to either accept that ALL stupid people may vote or some stupid politician or bureaucrat may decide who is stupid. I cannot accept that and ignore the real issue here:

As we are a Republic (not a democracy...save for the local level), I view this discussion about mandatory voting as ANOTHER distraction (look who brought it up).

Our real problem is the stupid politicians and bureaucrats that run the country, not those that are counted in an insignificant popular vote for national elections. They are seeking to cement control over local elections.

The rest of it is academic & has been discussed here prior:

We must take back our neighborhoods, our districts, our cities and our counties. Permitting infiltration of other locales by migrating progressives (the bulk of stupid people)...makes the few of us remaining look awfully stupid...

The former bulwark, Texas: As a State it’s trending down badly for what they’ve permitted to happen to their state...shameful, really, and a horrible epitaph for what’s happening to this country as a whole.

I’m not even going to get into the whole ‘importing voters’ issue...

Does my one square inch of the Yukon Territory deed get me a ballot?

J Jackson would print millions of them.

I have long advocated that voters be required to pass the same civics test given to applicants for naturalized American citizenship. That would weed out a LOT of rat voters.
