maybe they shouldn't be voting

if someone

is unable to get an official

government

ID,

incapable of showing

up

with proof of birth,

and they're

living in this country

for their entire

lives,

having never

gone anywhere,

or worked, never

once bought

liquor or cigarettes,

or driven

a car,

or checked out a book

with a library card,

are these the people we want

voting?

too dumb

or lazy

to sign on a dotted line.

do they have the wherewithal

to make

decisions,

to check a ballot

to elect someone?
