At some point in our history it was decided that literacy tests were unconstitutional. How can you protect someone fron his or her own ignorance? Is this truly a function of government?
If you go into the voting booth, make a mistake or later change your mind, should you be entitled to hold up the entire process and be able to vote again?
Would such a process be subject to being fixed?

I can't answer your question Ed, but I feel compelled to point others to Rush Limbaugh's site. There you'll find a picture of the "rigged ballot".

I expected to be confused, but frankly, only someone who simply CAN'T READ could mistakenly fill out this ballot, it's just not rocket science. Surely someone who is too blind to fill this out would cry out for assistance if they were confused by it, right? I know I would, as I am legally blind. Yet I had no trouble interpreting it whatsoever, leading me to the inescapable conclusion that Palm Beach must have a proliferation of mentally retarded Democrats.

Too bad. I think a literacy test which would require the voter to name his/her state's two senators, his/her congressional representative, and governor would be a good idea. Anyone who couldn't do so should not be allowed to vote. Also, anyone so stupid to understand the Palm Beach ballot is too stupid to vote.
