We Dont Want Everyone To Vote!
Should we make it easier or harder to vote! Notice in general democrats would like to make it as easy as possible for everyone and anyone to vote! I believe that we should have tougher requirements to vote, I think we should all have equal access " as long as you are a legal citizen", but we should at least have some sort of quiz or test before you can be registered to vote. Do we really want alot more ignorant people involved in the process?

Tests for voter registration used to be very common. So were poll taxes. They were used to keep Blacks from voting. That's why we have a Voting Rights Act.

Sure, right after there's an IQ requirement for candidates and their campaign promises are made legally binding with severe penalties for failure to comply.

I think that's a GREAT idea!
As long as only non-republicans are allowed to run for office!  |

Better go hide under the bed Jack, the liberals are coming
I guess the word liberal has replaced the pinko-commie of the Tail Gunner Joe era.
Just one question, who is the new McCarthy, Ann or Rush? |

I think that anyone who wants to vote should have to take a short quiz:
Name 5 Presidents of the US
Name the current President and Vice President
Know the stance of your canidate on at least 2 issues
Know the name of 1 Senator from your state
Sadly, these 4 simple questions would likely disquality at least 50% of the American voting population  . |

Those 4 simple questions might disqualify a good portion of the candidate pool |

Hey Silas, we could never require a test, it would be extremely unfair to all the democrats  |
