I am sure that we can review Mark Twain’s suggestion to ‘enlarge’ the franchise, giving extra votes to those who have more money, or more college degrees and have a little laugh.

There are a lot of posters that I think of as being very wrong. I do think that denying them the franchise is probably the wrong path to follow, as it can be used against good people as much as it can be used against bad people, and perhaps more.
