1. Johnnie and Billo heart Jim Crow laws.

2. I agree

people like Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh should not be allowed to vote.

3. I didn't know Stossel joined Faux

But, does he really want an informed voter? I can't believe that most people who vote Republican have a clue beyond what Faux and Limbaugh tells them to know. As a thought experiment; what if to vote you had to show an understanding of the U.S. Government, the way it works and the U.S. Constitution? There would be very few voters. If we added an understanding of current events from factual sources instead of the Republican Propaganda, there would be even less. If we forced our politicians to pass the same test and to talk about substance instead of rhetoric during their campaigns, then we wouldn't have anyone to vote for. Maybe these test aren't such a bad ideal after all.

4. ya... their ignorance is appaling

6. Some people cannot vote, like felons. Do these guys live in the USA?

Do they want to add more people to the list?

7. An actually, in some states, felons CAN vote.

In others, they can vote after their prison term and parole are completed. But few people will tell this to ex-cons.

8. They said some people, some already exist and

I have no doubt felons coming out of prison would be told not to vote by Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb.

It's part of my GOTV

10. Good on ya'!

I do, too. I'm a social worker in California, and part of our motor voter law dictates that we tell our clients these things, and offer them a voter reg form.
