Given his age, I assume he's not running for re-election next year. Vivek is the same party as Dewine.

Survey on 10 voters, you can see their positions, then you get to guess how they voted.
Yeah, I can see why people want voting qualifications.

15 voters listed when I visited, not 10.
If I'm being honest, I think that site is a bit bullshit. Their "personal views" were clearly from a very small list of options offered to them (Looks like 6 topics?). Then they framed them like they were in an order of importance. Meanwhile, the voters' comments would specifically state their primary concern was some other issue not listed.
Although, I'm not negating or disagreeing with your takeaway. When I was guessing, it was either the opposite of who they should have voted for, or they voted based on gender/skin color.
As for qualifying to vote, I have enough wisdom and experience to say that I 100% believe that everyone does NOT deserve the right to vote. Sorry, not sorry. And honestly, voting should be earned, not given.
No, the line doesn't get drawn at demographics, you racists/sexists/etc.
I would draw the line at:
-Full time students cannot vote.
-Additionally, life long students who haven't paid off their student loans (a loophole being used to never pay it back) cannot vote.
-If you and your family are housed and/or fed by the government you cannot vote. Truly sorry, but there's a conflict there. You're vulnerable to be exploited for your vote.
-If you're here illegally, you can never vote.
-If you're here legally, but are not a citizen, no voting.
-If you've committed a violent felony, you lose the right to vote.
-If you've committed a non-violent financial felony that has victims, bye bye voting. (Think Bernie Madoff.)
-In prison? No voting.
-In hospice? No voting.
-In assisted living? No voting. Your days of critical thinking are over, and now you're vulnerable to be exploited.
-Aren't independently wealthy, retired, or medically unable to work, but haven't worked for the majority of the past two years? No voting for you.
-Think TTUN's most recent football championship is legit? No voting.
Who gets to vote? You must be a legal citizen (natural or immigrant) and tax payer, then match 1 or more of these criteria:
-Military members and veterans starting at 18. (Heinlein was right.)
-Home owner. (Although, we do need to fix the housing market for this to work out well.)
-30 year olds and above who have been employed for 95% of the previous decade or their last day of college.
Also, it's 2025. There's no excuse for voting rolls not to be cleaned up daily. There should be a database that links to other databases (IRS, law enforcement, DMV, and some national medical one) that can remove deceased, incarcerated, or institutionalized people.
Additionally, mail in voting needs another layer of checking credentials to ensure the person who requested the ballot is the one who filled it out, but I don't know what that looks like.

I agree, but good luck getting anyone to go for this.
Great, now it's the 1800s again.

This only proves that not everyone should be able to vote. Too many politicians are afraid to make the logically sound decisions because they'll be voted out.
Old ideas doesn't automatically mean they're bad ideas.
Your objection to removing dead people from the voting rolls is very Somali...
Anyway, the Privacy Act of 1974 specifically states no one is allowed to track you by your SS# yet everyone does. Point being, it is indeed 2025 and privacy no longer exists. Might as well do something good with it other than tax or advertising. Besides, what's wrong with knowing who is not allowed to vote unless you're trying to rig the vote?

Most people should not be allowed to vote. We need more restrictions for voting, not fewer. Voting is not a right. It's a privilege given to us through the spilled blood of countless actual heroes.
The amount of women who voted for a Muslim Communist who wants to open jails and not have police respond to domestic violence calls is extremely telling.
Orwell was right.
