As "modest proposals" go, this one is ludicrous. And offensive. If Republicans think they can't win elections because women vote, well, maybe Republicans need to change what they're doing. Ever think of that?

Anyway, even if the 19th Amendment were repealed, that wouldn't work, in and of itself, to strip the franchise away from women. States establish, in the first instance, the qualifications for voting. All that the 19th Amendment did was preclude states from restricting the franchise on the basis of sex. So the individual states would have to take away the franchise from women. And how do you think that would work out?

Winning elections by doing something catastrophically stupid is going to bite everyone in the @$$ anyway. The point here is that if women believe in stupid things and vote stupidly, we will all get destroyed as the country fails.

I acknowledge that it cannot be done through the normal legal process. We can't get there from here.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't recognize it as the problem it has become. We need to remember not to make this same mistake in the subsequent system of government.

The solution is that every household votes as one, and each house counts for as many votes as there are members in the household, including manor children.

The fact is married families with children vote the most conservative, but their votes are diluted because they are voting for the interest of the whole family.
