He did own property but it was sold to pay for his defense.

So, should he have lost his right to vote because of the corruption of the FBI? In what way is that just?

I’ll tell you this, a LOT of D voters are renters. :)

I will tell you that, so are a lot of R voters.

If you have a job that requires you to pack up and move on an regular basis then you rent.

Besides they had a "minimum required value of property" that you had to own before you could vote.

So if you live out where land is cheaper you would have to own a big honking bunch of land while you would only need to own a quarter of a studio apartment in NYC.

Also is that property with or without mortgage?

Yep. I was a homeowner for 20 years and rented for twelve years after that.

The real problem with the property ownership rule is that over decades and centuries, we could end up like the old England, where property is owned by only a few land barrons and everyone else rents, and can’t vote.
