Just require all voters to answer 4 of 5 random questions from the test for naturalization, that would thin “conservative” ranks considerably, especially among “TEA party”, JBS, NRA, and “sovereigns”.
While Scalia HAS actually read the Constitution, both he and his clone Thomas, have rendered several written opinions deserving of impeachment. (Of course Thomas makes Calvin Coolidge seem a total blabbermouth in oral arguments.)
I like the idea if you can’t read how can you vote on a issue. at one time there were a lot of people who could not read. I also think you shoud have to the polls to vote. And also on tax issue you should have to own a house or have or had a job.
Allen Corneau: While in college the discussion came up about the “Electoral College” and “popular vote”. My instructor was very clear that we here in Washington the State would be fine, as we have a West side of the state and an East side. But when Rhode Island or Texas voted, always Texas would have the upper hand and Rhode Island would have no voice at all. When I think of that I then wonder if they should have a voice at all anyway. They have (lets just round it up) 4 people versus Texas who has 4000. During an Electoral vote situation R.I. gets 1 representative. TX, gets 4. It’s still a win for Texas but the rest of the country has to vote to make it mean anything. Now the problem is the GOP rearranging the lines in their states to make it all GOP when that is not the case. That has to stop. When the popular vote is 50/50 and the votes go 18/2 there is something wrong and our country all needs to be screaming bloody murder at what Virginia is doing.
