Love the gnome spread sheet

We are a republic, not a democracy. We do get to vote for state legislators who appoint senators. This is a States rights issue.
If I had my way there would still be property requirements to vote (not necessarily real estate). People who could and would vote themselves welfare checks and Obamaphones should not be allowed to vote.

The people are "the state". We don't need a middleman to elect Senators by corrupt bargain. It had become a disaster, that's why the 17th was overwhelmingly passed.

There we agree. Even a simple literacy test would cull a lot of idiots.
