Quoted: Raise the voting age back to 21 instead of 18, if you can't buy booze you shouldn't vote. That'll put an end to the arguement of I can vote but can't buy booze.

It's not about booze, dude, its about military service.

Quoted: Quoted: If you don't own property, you shouldn't be allowed to vote. MHO echo6 So an active duty soldier that lives in base housing and therefore doesn't yet need property shouldn't be allowed to vote? I call shenanigans, they have more of a vested interest in the steering of our nation than joe fatass sitting on his couch watching cartoons in his trailer on a 1/4 acre tract in bumfuck egypt.

I would like to see a poll tax of $100-$500 or so.  Something hefty but not exorbitant.  This would prevent people who can't manage their finances (including welfare leeches)from voting, it would make it impossible to buy votes with cigarettes and booze, and it would discourage people who don't really care and educate themselves on the issues from voting.  Plus it will more than pay for the election.  It will never happen though.

I would also raise the voting age to 25.  And I have been saying that since I was a teenager, too.  That will never happen either.
