re: Who should be allowed to vote in this country?

Certainly there should be more restrictions.

First of all , you should have to prove you are a US citizen

Second of all, a basic awareness text should be administered. With questions like. What year did the US declare independence? What country did we win our independence from? In what year did a Republican President tell Democrats they could no longer own black people? What year did Pearl Harbor get bombed bringing the US into a world war? Who bombed Pearl Harbor? What war did the US enter because of this? Who famously said "I have a dream.....?" How many amendments are there to the COTUS? Just ten questions along those lines, requiring 7 correct answers to be able to vote in that election.

How many adults Americans you reckon could manage that? I say about 1/3. And that's being generous.

PS I bet 90% of Democrats in Congress couldn't manage 70% on such an exam. I'll bet 99% of members of the CBC couldn't do so.

Illegally in this country or on a green card no voting of any type. You are just a visitor here.

Citizen on government assistance, vote on general elections for seats in congress/senate/presidential/local/state elections.

Citizen renting and not owning property, no vote on property taxes but vote on sales taxes.

Citizen owning property(s) vote on everything balloted.

I own several rental properties and it pizzes me off that those living in government funded housing can increase my taxes.

People who serve no less than three years of civil service/military service.

A lot of the immigration debate centers around illegal aliens voting in violation of the law.

Huh? Who thinks this is a problem? Are there really any substantial number of "illegal aliens voting in violation of the law?"

I find it interesting that many of the people who take "shall not be infringed upon" so seriously when it comes to the second amendment are so willing to put restrictions on a different constitutional right.

That being said, enforce the current laws and abide by the constitution.

i am not surprised that this thread wants to make sure only white men vote.

Unless I've missed it, not one person has made that case. If I have missed it, kindly point it out to me. Of course you won't be able to do so because no one has said "only white men should be able to vote" this is just your projection again, because being a good liberal you believe blacks are inferior and would never be able to vote if only people who had jobs , were able to pass a small test, and had ID were allowed to vote.

Blacks aren't inferior Brian.

Male property owners

We already have laws about it.
Trump lied when he told you 4 million illegals voted against him.
It was 6. 6 people. Or 3

3 people. Not millions.
They don't vote in significant numbers.

Those who contribute tax money. I don’t believe anyone taking advantage of entitlement programs should be allowed to vote.

---

Property owners only - all things property tax related 

Tax paying citizens - all non property tax related items. 


Both rule out illegals.

Millions of illegals are property owners.

Many more than that pay taxes. In fact, not paying taxes can be a bar to getting your green card. Tax returns are how they prove they have been in the country long enough to qualify.
