Can we make some form of intelligence test for people to be allowed to vote?

We don’t let everyone drive a car because some people are mentally unfit to do so and would be a safety hazard to all those around them. Why is this not the same for voting and electing who rules over us?

Because the Democrat party is racist AF and will say that if you do this, then you are disenfranchising black people, implying black people are not mentally fit.

Mental illness is celebrated rather than treated these days. If anything, the powers that be would try to award the mentally unfit with extra voting powers if they could.

I would be very pleased to see voting limited to only those individuals who pay taxes. If you are a mooch on our economy and society, you have no say as to how the country is run. (Sorta like - if you don't have an ante in the kitty, you don't get to play the hand.)

Neither party wants a populace they can't control.

Who counts the votes holds the power. Until then, our votes are just a measure of how energized we are by a thing. Until we find a way to ensure real/honest voting, our path will continue blazing forth in this "No it's the other side!" mentality. The "hey, i don't care that we're 40 trillion in debt" society. The child sacrifice, and history erasing society. The import millions of people that will destabilize our system society. The we will do nothing because we like air conditioning and modern conveniences society.

Is there an emotional stability test? People who act like everything is the end of the world are not fit to direct the country, either.

In US politics, the dumber you are the more important your are to the politicians.

And if you reach epic levels of stupidity you get to become a leader of the people.

From a nature standpoint, I'm amazed humans have survived this long.

Can you imagine a country where to vote you had to be a land owner?
Now get on your time machine and go back two centuries.

"Is the Earth flat" and "did the US fake the moon landings" would do some serious damage to voter rolls.

There already is a test out there that determines who should vote, it's called a tax return.

Q: Who won the 2020 Presidential election?

If you can’t correctly answer this question you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

It's definitely celebrated on this board.

Instead, what is a woman?

Sorry. You people won’t be voting ever again.

Thankfully.

Then you might have to eliminate whole states.
