(1) Personally, I'd like to see the vote limited to those who have completed
High School, passed the same citizenship test anyone immigrating passes, and
who own property or who paid income taxes the previous year.
Ron, the second half of this sounds suspiciously like a poll tax. I'm
sure you don't mean that that way, since that was declared
unConstitutional. How could you implement this (even with the or)
and not disenfranchise a fair segment of the senior community? Those
who are dependent on Social Security and who no longer own real
property come to mind.
