Wookie, your argument seems to be we should make it as easy as humanly possible to cast ballots, and I just don't agree with that.
You think voting is too important to have any barriers.
I think voting is too important to NOT have any barriers.
OK, let me ask you and like-minded people a few things:
1. Preventing one citizen from voting legally is:
[ ] Worse than an ineligible person voting
[ ] Equal to an ineligible person voting
[ ] No big deal. Stopping 10 citizens from voting is worth it for stopping one ineligible voter.
[ ] No big deal. Stopping 100 citizens from voting is worth it for stopping one ineligible voter.
[ ] No big deal. Stopping 1000+ citizens from voting is worth it for stopping one ineligible voter.
2. Which of the following are important barriers to place on voting?
[ ] citizenship
[ ] natural born citizenship
[ ] voters must be employed
[ ] voters must be white
[ ] voters must be male
[ ] voters must take a written test on US government
[ ] voters must own land
[ ] voters must pay federal income taxes
[ ] voters must drive cars
[ ] voters must fly on planes
[ ] voters must purchase alcohol
[ ] voters must pay a fee in order to vote so that only the people who really want to vote and who are informed will vote
[ ] voters must have graduated from high school
[ ] voters must have graduated from college
[ ] voters must have gun licenses
[ ] voters must have served in the armed forces
