It's a pretty stupid qualification to be honest

If someone makes 150K a year and pays plenty of taxes but prefers to rent for mobility reasons you think they shouldn't be allowed to vote?


Alright then. How's about only letting people vote who net paid federal taxes in the previous year?

I’m cool with some sort of qualifier. I actually think you should have to take a test that shows you have a very basic understanding of civics. If we want a better government, we should have better voters. Of course that’s Pollyanna and will never happen considering the Left even hates the idea of Voter ID, even if that ID is free and they come to your house and make it for you.

you gonna catch a lot of old retired conservatives who deserve the right to vote but haven't necessarily made a positive income in the past year...

I'd propose that if you've voted 10 times, you're then eligible for life
