By rights, in some states of the USA, idiots we expose on this blog would be ineligible to vote, which, in my not so humble opinion, is as it should be.

Next week though, at least New Jersey idiots may be able to vote because, on Nov. 6, NJ voters will decide whether to replace insensitive phrasing in the state Constitution that characterizes people with disabilities as "idiots" and "insane." The original aim of the wording was to bar mental defectives from voting but the word idiot has a different meaning nowadays - as readers of this blog will know.

Mind you, the new wording - which says that voters must have "the capacity to understand the act of voting" - would still probably eliminate large percentage of our Dumb Criminals from the polls.
