No, you framed it as a inalienable right to vote. IT IS NOT. It is an "earned right", which can be forfeited.Quote:

It is a right that states have chosen to abridge for prisoners and felons, which is a clear-cut restriction of that right to suppress the vote.
So I guess we can also assume you don't support the requiring of a photo I.D. for voting?Quote:

Voting has been erroneously pushed into the category of a civic duty. It should be a right, but as with everything that has come out our goverment, there's a full implementation of another agenda waiting just below the "surface of the typeface".Quote:

I know I couldn't stand on an evil evolution to the old poll tax: Voter ID. I refuse to stand by such a policy.Quote:

It's not just the cost, it's the hassle of it if you don't have a driver's license. It's especially hard on older people and even young people who don't have a driver's license.
I understand your position clearly. I wouldn't have a (false) leg to stand on, if the 24th Amedment had not passed.Quote:

I don't think I got any of these wrong, but if I did, I'll apologize in advance.
Are you sure you're a Republican? :grin:
