The right to vote is EARNED, and it becomes both a duty and responsibility to exercise it properly. Sometimes, to decline to fulfill that right, or write in the name of a preferred candidate, is the most judicious application of that right.
It is assumed that the person who casts a vote is of good judgment, is literate, and has been well informed on the issues of the day. It is also incumbent that the person be a resident of the venue in which the vote is cast, and has been affirmed as a citizen of the realm. This is demonstrated by the presentation of a duly authorized form of identification at the time of casting the ballot, of which a driver’s license is acceptable everywhere. Other forms of state-issued identification, with name, address and photo, specifically for the purpose of ID, is an acceptable alternative.
Beyond that, the state legislatures of the several states, as stated in the constitution, have the ONLY authority to set the conditions of the eligibility and means by which the individual voter may cast the ballot. Once set, it may not be vacated by judicial review, or by executive order, or failure to enforce, until any changes are acted upon by the legislature.
You said it with much more eloquence.
I said “stupid people” because I haven’t had my coffee yet.
Just wait until I’ve had my coffee.....eloquence.....eloquence.....eloquence.
