While we're at it, how about land ownership as a prerequisite to sufferage?

Bad idea in the modern era. In the old days, land ownership meant some degree of intelligence and responsibility. Not so today especially with zero down, time shares, condos, REITS, etc. landownership means nothing.

Today, paying income tax for at least 5 years and passing a reading test would probably be better screens.
