Yes, I know. To make it clear to everyone, that was sarcastic - I strongly believe in no poll tax, no discrimination towards voting by any citizen.
Which is why I oppose the targeted Republican (RGA sponsored) voting suppression efforts in multiple states across this country before 2012 election.
I am, however, appalled at the general lack of factual knowledge that many voting citizens demonstrate.
And as an aside, I went to the country clerks office today to renew license plates. If you want a voter ID card, they make it hard as hell - have to go to multiple offices, two different buildings (one for photo, one for paperwork).

The parties have indeed changed to a fault and left a lot of people in the wind. The sheer number of voters has multiplied so much over the past 50 years the personal politics of those that have been voting that long are irrelevant now, with fantastic marketing campaigns and get out the vote movements bringing the uninformed to the polls it doesn't matter.

I strongly agree with all that.

We agree, no uninformed voters. Take a test, be employed, serve the country, contribute you get to vote. Citizen vs. Resident one votes the other deals with it. Good plan

Sorry. Can't agree. After what happened in 1960's in this country, I would rather continue to interpret the obvious intent of the Constitution, as the founders intended.
