To vote you should have to take a test, and I will pick the two questions.

1. Name the three branches of government
2. Does the president have the power to create law?

Simple enough, to keep out the people that really have no idea what they are voting for and simple enough to allow most of the dumb masses to get into the booth.

My honest opinion is that no one should be allowed to vote for the President, we should elect local representatives who would vote on the presidency, that would end the presidential popularity contest and get people focused on the representatives who trully have the most impact on their lives.

Lastly, voting isn't a right. It's a priveledge. There is no constitutional right to vote in federal elects so cons aren't being stripped of their 'rights' just having their priveledges taken away because they couldn't handle being a first class citizen in our country and to be quite frank, if you can't manage to keep yourself from committing federal crimes, I'm not really sure your opinion is worth hearing.
