they don't want increased lower class turnout.

Are there really that many people that want to vote and can't under the current system because it's on a Tuesday and are too stupid/ignorant to vote any other way?  Do we really want more stupid/ignorant people voting?

oh go to Hell with your self-loathing class hate

I am for it, if, and only if, concomitantly, the voting age is moved back up to 21. I opposed lowering it to 18 when that occurred (a vote I actually coincidentally witnessed from the galleries in the House), and I still oppose it. I don't think 18 year olds in college or living at home live enough in the "real world" to have the franchise. Now some factory rat working full time, and paying taxes, is another matter. That was my thinking back when I was around 19 years of age when the change was made, and it is still my rationale 42 years later.

Yes, I know, in this neighborhood, my opinion is probably a solo one.

everyone pays taxes.  homeless people pay taxes.
