What does it matter when the establishment just pushes their puppet candidates on the people any way? We get what they decided to give us and they will never let that change. I like your idea but it is about 100 years too late to be implemented.
In the 1990s Hillary wanted HillaryCare but couldn't jam it through. The Republicans took over and 20 Republicans co-signed a bill pushing for an individual insurance mandate. That didn't happen, so GW created Medicare Part D. Then Obama comes in merges HillaryCare and the Republican mandate. No matter who was in charge they were all pushing a similar agenda as instructed by the establishment. |

Repeal the 26th Amendment and give the voting age requirement back to the states. Let the states vote to push it back up to 21-23 instead of blanket-nationwide spreading The Vote to the ignorant, emotional, easily-swayed 18-20 year olds.
and for the mewling Emos who say, "but but but, how can you let a guy enlist to fight their country at 18 and not let them vote?", I say we should reconsider letting 18-20yo people enlist. There, I said it. Would reduce (not eliminate, but dramatically reduce) disciplinary issues caused by younger demonstrably-immature people in uniform. Don't pull the "but we draft 18yos!" bullshit either. If you believe conscription is Constitutional in USA (which I do not, especially in light of the 13th Amendment), then don't conscript 18-20 year olds. We didn't conscript them for decades in the USA; it's a relatively recent phenomenon. And don't pull the "but what will 18-20yo people DO between age 18 and age 21 if they cannot enlist and pull themselves out of poverty etc.?" card. Last time I checked, the US military was supposed to be the violence-exporting arm of the Federal government, not a goddamn jobs program. But I don't understand this sick fascination with "gotta own a house to vote!!" What about owning a house RIGHT NOW makes a person suddenly intelligent, wise, and dutiful enough to cast a vote? There are plenty of retards with a mortgage, lemme tell you. And there are plenty of intelligent, wise, dutiful citizens who are between houses at voter registration time or election day due to job moves, divorce, etc. Do we fuck them over in favor of Shaniqua or Jose who "qualified" for a NINJA loan? |

Considering there were no computers and photos were still rare, it would be hard to justify some of the requirements. Ink on a finger should be a requirement, of course with early voting now it gives people time to remove it and drive somewhere else. So I would go with, you must leave a fingerprint by the voter registration name when you sign it. Lot's of people would oppose that as "the government has my prints and is tracking me" though. |

simply having a voter ID would fix most problems. It's asinine I have to show my ID to use a credit card half the time and to buy liquor, but to vote I don't have to.

I guarantee if someone is renting they are paying the "property owner's" property taxes. As long as you are a legal citizen of age that is good enough to me. Just because we don't agree with how someone else votes doesn't mean we should be able to take away their right to vote. OP: I see you are from NE and that makes me

All would need to be addressed. Because what I have come up with is not perfect. waycist - what other country allows non-citizens to vote in their elections? There is nothing racist about this. US citizens should be voting in elections. Good point about purchasing the land. If the new 20,000 voters have their name on the paperwork and they are paying taxes, not sure what could be done. Raise the amount to be owned? I meant mortgage in good standing to mean up to date. I suppose there could be some unscrupulous bankers that could cause problems here I know there are reasons to keep both names off of certain documents. What means more purchasing power or being able to vote. A choice to be made. Yes, the LLC, partnership, Trust can be legal owners of property. I want to exclude them because they are legal instruments not persons and to avoid the circumstance of say a trust with multiple trustees. I am not challenging the legality of a Living Trust having legal ownership of property. Yes, a million dollar yacht would be excluded. Maybe some provision to exclude homes not on permanent foundations. |

I tend to agree, but the problem arises in who administers the test and how full of their ideology they stuff it. That is before we even get into "do we test plain language of the Constitution, or do we test on SCOTUS/scholarly/popular interpretations of the Constitution?" I would like to see a bare-bones comprehensive exam of "what are the words of The Fourth Amendment?" "What are the specifically enumerated powers of Congress listed in Article I?" No interpretation, no what-does-it-mean, just "what the hell is the plain language?" Make it multiple choice for all I care. The point is to get people to READ the damn Constitution. |

I wouldn't require land ownership.... probably a tax receipt for income taxes showing you've actually paid in, probably min $5k after any deductions in at least 1 out of the last 5 years.
After retirement, if you paid in more than 50% of your working years, you get to vote for the rest of your life. |
