Well said. My concern here is that these sheep have no business participating in the running of this great republic. We have to somehow eliminate them from the political gene pool.
On the one hand, I'm not certain everyone should be able to vote without some kind of aptitude test. The supposed right was added later on to the constitution. On the other hand, if the government is the one overseeing the test they can just prevent people from voting against them by saying they're not smart enough and denying them.
At the very least, people need to stop being encouraged to vote if they're uninterested and uninformed. I'm sure a huge chunk of shitty votes come from the big "GET OUT AND VOTE VOTE VOTE OR YOU'RE ENABLING HITLER" push that happens around every election. A bunch of people who weren't going to vote because they don't know or don't care get pressured into voting "for the greater good of society!" when in reality they likely just fucked things up by voting for some moron promising shit that sounds nice but doesn't work.
When the media is so flagrantly biased against one side, how can someone who isn't informed on politics and gets pressured into voting be expected to do anything but vote D down the ballot? Or vote for "anyone but that dastardly Trump!"? Even if they vote R they're just as likely voting for some uni-party RINO than for an actual good option if they aren't informed and are only voting due to pressure.
This would probably work. Everyone can vote, but people aren't just blindly encouraged to if they don't know or care about politics.
For me the test is simple. Skin in the game. If you pay tax and support the system then you have skin in the game. If you take $ from any government agency, you get no vote.
Saw this proposed along with either being a landowner, or having served in the military. All 3 definitely seem like some good prerequisites (one of them, not all) to being able to vote. Definitely better than a government ran aptitude test or the like. Simple requirements that show you'll at least be more likely than not to inform yourself and try your best to pick the best guy, instead of the guy who says he'll give you more free shit.
Yes.
The left will cry poll tax though. But it would be good if there were some type of quiz to see if people know anything about a person's platform.
I'm also in favor of providing proof of residency, as well as a fingerprint, signature, and purple ink on the fingertip.
