Personally, I think TOO MANY people vote. I would limit voting to
people: 1. Who registered, each year, in January, and
2. Who owned property, and
3. Who paid a modest fee ($10 sounds about right), and
4. Who've never been convicted of a felony or a crime of moral
turpitude.

5. Served their country in the military, Peace Corps, et al.

I dunno. I'm tempted to say anybody who works for any agency of government
is automatically disqualified from voting.

In the case of the military, they may vote for a candidate who promises them
more opportunities to kill people and blow things up (not that that's a bad
thing). In my view, the basis for a war should be something greater than the
fun it provides its prosecutors.
