I believe in disenfranchising:
This culls all the stupid, the lazy, and the distracted. This country was built primarily with a minority of people voting, and they did a damned good job of it. There is such a thing as making "suffrage" too "universal." Europe has heavier voter participation, and they're going down the tubes faster than we are.
My list does not "disenfranchise" anyone but the very young and foreigners. Everyone esle can "enfranchise" themselves by simply moving themselves out of the other excluded groups by learning to read, paying attention to elections, getting down to a designated voting registrar's office, and finding a way to show up at the polls the first Tuesday in November except for disability or pre-planned absence.
And one more thing: The disgrace of absentee ballots for miltary personnel being thoroughly mishandled has to stop. THEY have a good excuse for not being able to go to a voting place.

Posted by: Banned Name at October 15, 2012 5:00 PMDon Rodrigo, you're disenfranchising a plurality of Donkey voters be excluding cemeteries as lawful registration places.
Posted by: Peccable at October 16, 2012 3:31 AMI, too, am undecided. Don't know if I'll vote for Romney or against Obama.
Posted by: OldFert at October 16, 2012 8:00 AMI already voted. Leave me alone.
Posted by: RebeccaH at October 16, 2012 5:11 PMAn undecided voter is a stupid, uninformed, disengaged lout that flaunts his stupidity, ignorance, and self absorbency as if these things were virtues. And they almost always vote Democrat.
