      That goes against democracy along with not allowing old people or people in prisons. It is opens the pandora’s box to now allowing LGBT or people of color to vote by locking them in prison or fixing IQ tests to yield low scores.

          There were about 258mil adult citizens in the USA in 2021( the last year I easily found statistics for), about 248mil of them are ‘eligible’ to vote. In the 2024 election, about 155mil ballots were cast.

          Sure sure… 155mil isn’t a small number, but it’s nowhere near everyone. 60% of the adult population is a far far cry from universal participation.

          Power to the people, just wish we’d wield it.

      That is a stupid idea…no voting for you!

      Everyone should be obligated to vote. What we need is to educate the population not deny votes.
