Here is another attempt by Democrats to make our elections process a shambles. It is a privilege, not a right to vote. If people haven't the inclination to educate themselves about the issues and the candidates running for office prior to election day, they certainly aren't serious about making informed decisions. Is this the kind of people we want to help decide who is elected and what laws we all have to live under?
