You're right. A single vote from a thoughtful person who researched the candidates and the issues and considered both their interests and the interests of the people as a whole when deciding who to vote for is outweighed by two burnout druggies who vote for the guy that says he's going to legalize narcotics. Now multiply that by millions.

Absentee ballots should be all but eliminated. Make election day they paid holiday so that no one has any excuse not to vote. The only people who should be voting remotely are military stationed out of state and people hospitalized or with disabilities that physically prevent them from getting to a polling site.

It will never happen, but I also think that you are not a net taxpayer you shouldn't be allowed to cast a vote. I don't let the guy at the office who isn't chipping in for lunch have a say on where we're buying from, so why do we let people with no stake in the matter vote on how to spend everyone else's money?
