The Founding Fathers never foresaw the emergence of a traitorous press and the damage it would do to this country.

How exactly does anything you write belong in “News”?
Are you some kind of special?

Who the hell do you think you are?

In America today, apparently NOTHING prevents ANYONE from voting in any election...even if dead, non citizen, underage, and multiple times.

Our form of government is a Constitutional Republic, not a Representative Democracy. Nor are we a Democratic Republic. Have you bothered to read the Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention debates of 1787?

It’s all there in black & white.

"Is there a point at which a citizens ignorance of the principles of government would prohibit their voting in elections?"

Not in our constitution. Sorry, no firestorm.

If you're asking if we should have restrictions on who can vote based on qualifications, the founders covered a lot of that ground in forming the constitution.

The original restrictions have been diluted over the years.

You should read some history. I'm sure you'd find it enlightening.
