>> I have heard you say that some people are not smart enough to vote...how does that fit in with protecting voting rights? I've said that in a facetious tone, but I do recognize every person has a right to vote (including, as I've mentioned, convicted felons, but Democrats have no problem with THEIR disenfranchisement because it is politically popular). While I do wish there were some reasonable method of screening out voters who are not competent to vote, the reality is that you can't give that power to government so I settle for the lesser of the evils -- allowing idiots to vote. But I don't think my vote ought to watered down by people who might choose to aggressively support someone by illegally voting multiple times. It is a sensitive issue where the Democrats are using extreme measures to win elections by getting people to vote, for example, based on skin color rather than qualifications of the candidate. How does that even make sense?
