Ali, Don't you find it funny that people who can't figure out a ballot-box get to choose the leader of the free world? I think we should bring back the literacy tests, or a test similar to the one they are supposed to give to new citizens. Someone who has no concept of Congress, state assembly, mayor should have no business voting. There was a post about a local businessman in Palm Beach county who is a store owner, and he asked his customers how they voted, who they voted for and if they had any trouble understanding the ballot. All he got were puzzled looks. They told him they voted for #5 and #35 as they were told. Lets face it. We have a good percentage of this country's voters who are morons. If you have a candidate that heavily depends on votes of the morons he is running a risk that they will be themselves and screw up. Joe PS: Here is another excerpt from the article I posted: I got an e-mail yesterday from a high school kid in Wisconsin. ``We used these ballots last week in a mock election at my high school,'' he wrote. ``And not one kid (15-to-18-year-olds) had a single problem.''
