You don't have to pass an IQ test to vote







In the Coleman - Franken recount, there are apparently hundreds of votes where it is not 100% clear what the intent of the voter is, mostly because the voters appear to be too stupid to make it clear. Is it really that hard to fill in a circle next to the name of your candidate? If you messed up, would it really be that difficult to ask for a new ballot and have the election officials destroy the one you messed up? And why would anyone go to all the trouble to vote and then write "lizard people" on the ballot?
Maybe we need to give an IQ test to voters before they are allowed to vote.
