You've heard of provisional voting, right? It's an attempt to count the votes of those who don't know where they should vote. Well, if you don't know where to vote and lack the ability to find out where you should vote, should you be allowed to vote?
I'm not an advocate of limiting voting rights according to one's intelligence. But, Lord, there has to be some minimum level of competence on the part of the voter. If you don't have the initiative to find out where you should be voting, it's highly unlikely that you have the initiative to find out whom to vote for.
How much more can this country be dumbed down and still function as a representative democracy?

'...function as a representative democracy', Al? I believe that stopped around about the time of the 2000 Presidential election.
