The polls aren't a good bet, as long as people on welfare can vote.
States can remove their right to vote, just like for felons.
Not holding my breath though.

States can remove their right to vote, just like for felons. Very doubtful indeed.
May theoretically be within a state's right, but would immediately lead to lawsuits and probable overturning of the law.
There is also the quite tricky issue of deciding what is meant by "on welfare."

MUDDOG is right. State power to determine elector quals is clear as can be in Article I Section 2, first paragraph.
