The idea of denying the vote to people who aren't considered smart enough or knowledgeable enough could be rightfully dubbed political eugenics.
Or it could be called something else. Making up derogatory names for things we don't like is pure demagoguery. It doesn't prove diddly squat.
Since none of you who support this are about to exempt the excluded voters from the laws that their representatives will subject them to,
then you have no justfication to deny them their right to vote.
Sure we do. Denying them the vote makes exactly as much sense as denying them the right to fly a 747. Voting isn't a right. Controlling your own destiny is one thing. Making decisions that affect millions of others is another entirely.
