Earning the Vote

[The Architect Of Fate]

1)  Is there a better measure for GI?

Intelligence should have nothing to do with ones ability to vote 

2)  Surely that depends upon the content of the formal education?

Education should have nothing to do with ones ability to vote 

3)  Prison for being an objector wasn't part of the statement. But I'm happy enough to remove this as a criteria for earning the vote if the other more important things can be agreed upon.

Good because it's bad criteria 

4)  Correct.  Which is not only why I prefer an older age (21 is far more likely to be mature than 16), but also why I have the combination of age + IQ + education + civic service + not in prison.  That seems a fair combination of wide factors that can increase the likelihood of someone being a mature, smart, educated,

None of these factors should limit voting 

empathic person.  This is in contrast to removing all criteria and making the age as low as reasonably possible which seems to massively increase the likelihood of many voters being immature, uneducated, and easily manipulated.

This statement is simply false.
