1. So representation would be only for voting AGE. Most don't vote for starters.

So taking wingnut logic to logical conclusion, laws couldn't be decreed over anybody not of voting age. Sounds "Right." What about "no (legislation) without representation"?!1

They just don’t believe in democracy. Like STALIN, what matters is who counts the votes, or restricting how voting operates. After nearing the extent of their voter ID initiatives, here they are restricting representation. This ought to mean that laws could not be passed if the bills are about non-voting-age people (minors, undocumented, mentally impaired, felons). Remember “No taxation without representation”? Change one word to: No legislation without representation.

They can’t deal with the looming reality that they CAN’T WIN just on the merits of their ideology. Perhaps Poppy BUSH’s role in 1980’s October Surprise might not have changed the outcome, but tinkering to exaggerate an edge here, stacking Supreme Court there, restricting who votes, now defining representation, adds up to Coup-2000 EVERY election, like Christmas/Festivus every day.
