In general, too many vote, IMHO. People without a basic understanding of government should be disallowed. Since public education exists, and is free, this is not a draconian standard since everyone has the free means by which to obtain this very minimal level of education.
Words can not describe the amount of disgust I am feeling at that statement. In a country with "universal" sufferage, everyone should be allowed to vote. Stupid or smart. Man or woman. Religious or irreligious. Straight or gay. American born or legal immigrant. Rich or impoverished.
