“Voting should have requirements.”

I’ve long said there should be testing requirements. JFK, believe it or not, famously once said that 70% of people should not be allowed to vote!!!

I could not agree more. Everyone should have a working knowledge of what a democracy is, what a representative republic is and what communism and socialism is.

Not only that, but they should be able to understand general civics that is barely being taught in schools these days.

I know this may be a controversial statement... and even though I never served in the military, I would be willing to give up my vote to let those that have served be the only ones to vote. I have a large respect for those who are there on the front lines and doing what needs to be done for the good of the country. I can’t think of a better group of folks that should be allowed to vote.

I should have joined the military when I was much younger. If only I could go back in time. Nevertheless... voting should have requirements.
