Yes, but the people on Jerry Springer could IN THEORY effect my destiny in some way, and I think something is deeply wrong with that in and of itself. I'm not just talking about the degenerates on stage. Most of them are probably convicted felons anyway. But do you realize that most of the sickos in the audience have the right to vote?
And the answer to Rah's question is very simple. On the way to the ballots, open up a high-voltage electrical socket at eye level and post a giant note that says, "DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PUT YOUR FINGER IN HERE!" Quick, convenient sorting.Comment

But what about people that can't read or read english. Should you be denied the right to vote because you can't read . Blind people? That's the problem of devising test. (even though I must admit that I really liked yours ) Every test will have a weakness or could be twisted to discriminate.

If you can't read, how are you going to read the names on the ballot?Comment

There are many people that can't read that can still recognize a name. I'd bet that 85%+ of the illiterate in the US would recognize the name BUSH. Blind people can get assistance.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

Not true. The US government has maintained an embargo against Cuba for forty years, despite the fact that for the last twenty, at least, most Americans are against it. It'sw just not an issue that drive people to vote.Originally posted by skywalker
The government cannot maintain something against the will of the people for more than four years max,Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

And if it's not a big enough issue to drive people to vote, then does it really matter?It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Yes, but Pat Buchanan won't live forever. What you're suggesting is only a temporary solution.Originally posted by DinoDoc
That's how it works in Florida.
And I don't think anybody who can't read, and thus probably has no clue what any of the candidates think or stand for, doesn't really need to vote. As for the blind, you can write "DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGER IN HERE" in braille, can't you? 'Course, there's a risk that they would put their fingers in by accident while feeling the letters, but no scheme is perfect.Comment
