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.

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.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

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

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 Rubio

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.
