“We might be smarter to limit voting further to Americans born in the U.S., to naturalized American citizens, married men & women, those older than 25, land & property owners, people of faith, people of anglo-celtic heritage who speak English and those that can pass a strong constitutional & historical exam”
Agree with the exception that those in the military should get to vote. And I think males should vote at majority age. And nobody on public assistance should ever be allowed to vote.
Totally agree about the military. I disagree about males at majority- I think we ought to raise age of voting to an age when stability & common sense take over. I absolutely believe the military should be given the vote regardless & I believe public assistance should be abolished but totally agree with barring a person from voting when receiving it. I also strongly support women voting once married, noone under 25 or 30 & also land & property owners.
It’s sad, nowadays that we even have to say someone OBVIOUSLY needs to be a natural born American, pass history exams & intelligence tests & speaks English. I’ve never believed that a universal vote is a good thing. But I’m absolutely no more supportive of the idea of allowing unmarried, 18 year old males who don’t own property/ land to vote than I am of unmarried, 18 year old females that don’t own property/land. The only exception to that would be young military men. If you have are a member of the military & can fight- you can vote! 😉
