lol, exactly. Not that it is right, but werent only male, white, land owners allowed to vote by our founding father's standards?
and then of course black people were only counted as 3/5 of a vote.
and women never voted until 1920. Poor people could NOT even vote in the 1960's until the poll tax was removed!!
Even in 2012... American citizens who have committed a felony are not allowed to vote.
now none of that stuff above is okay (except maybe not allowing felons).
