[EL] Vadum addendum

       Given the choices next year, sufferage may be the right word.

ADDENDUM:  The reader posts to Vadum’s original post are a cesspool of anti-franchise rhetoric.  My favorite so far:

Great article, thanks for posting it, AT!  I’ve said all along we need LESS people voting.  The conservatives should push for poll taxes (if you’re not willing or able to pay, then you probably are not willing or able to be informed enough to vote), increase the voting age to 21, no voting for anyone who has received government assistance in the past year, and no sufferage for anyone who cannot read.  One person one vote is a recipe for political suicide and the Communist’s dream.

No sufferage for the illiterate, indeed.
