Wtf? What does welfare gave to do with anything?? I think I might agree if people on Medicare, Social Security, and Military pensions don't get to vote.

All US citizens 18 years old or older have the right to vote in a federal election.
At least that's what I read prior to taking my oath to become a US citizen earlier this year. That would include people on welfare.

No, they should only be allowed to vote during a non election year.

Silly question... Yes of course.

I think OP believes that most welfare people vote democrats, and believes that if they were not allow to vote the republicans would increase their chances to win.

The problem with them voting is that they're not taxpayers, they're not having to pay for all the big government programs. There's a reason that voting was at one time limited to property owners who did pay taxes.
