Earning the Vote

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

-Graduation is no guarantee of using your vote wisely, and IQ tests only determine how well someone takes an IQ test.

-I don't see why serving a prison term should be a bar to voting.

-I object to slavery.

You don't think IQ tests have any fair correlation with GI?

And you don't think some level of education increases the chance of making you better able to understand the issues you are voting upon, and less likely to be subject to manipulation?

As for seeing civic service as slavery, what if it was optional (but not service, no vote)?

Why 16? (not 18, 21, or 13 etc)

And when you say living in a nation, doesn't that possibly increase the risk of foreign interference via immigration/emigration?

-No.

-No. Education is not the same as intelligence.

-I was referring specifically to military conscription.

-If someone is old enough to take a full-time job, drive legally, or be married, they’re old enough to vote.

-No.
