diligence and quality in our democracy. ANYONE voting in a FEDERAL election should be required to prove identity, residency, and literacy... Seems like a reasonable request to me if we are going to entrust the future of our nation to the voters. Sadly, many of our politicians are so dumb it would go bad for them if the voting public were TOO Literate. So I will keep it simple, require a voters registration card (which we have in Fla. that ought to provide identity and residence at once and require the person to recite the name of the Govenor of their state, the President and the Vice President. (easy in Fla. for now-gg). Also, I am VERY MUCH against this talk of internet voting or any other type other then Absentee Ballot which doesnt require the person to show up at the voting stand. jdn
