“….voters are….pretty stupid, " is quite the statement for our times. It would take a pretty stupid voter to put Belfry or Dump into office. That’s very disheartening that there are fairly stupid people out there that can also and do vote. There was a time that, in order to prevent minorities from voting, there was a test of competency before one could vote. Maybe there needs to be a test now. Just as I am retested every 5 years to get my drivers license renewed, maybe we should be retested to get registered to vote. Some test that would indicate an awareness of what’s up. A social studies test, perhaps.
