California, but I'm not a liberal whackjob. My state voted Kerry, but I am not complaining as the majority has spoken.
;D

This applies to all elections US,UK, wherever...
It has always been my opinion that it should not be "one person - one vote".
clearly each person is different and each have different intelligence levels.
i think there should be minimum IQ level at which you become entitled to vote, and those with proven higher intellectual levels should have 2 votes.
this would help to protect against a ignorant majority voting and making big mistakes...
JackTucky:
You don't have to know how to pass a test to be a decent person. Get off your high horse.
This is the democrats problem, only they are smart enough to know what we need.
I've met a lot of "smart" people in board rooms who can't articulate a thought without boring the entire room to death.
On the other hand, I've met a lot of "average joes" who can light up a room when they come in.
I'd rather be "Lit" than "bored"
Damn these these political posts for finally bringing me in. ::)

What about parenting?
Maybe there should be a minimum IQ requirement if you want to have a child. All men with IQs lower than 90 will be castrated. Much the same effect as taking away someones vote.
I think the IQ stats are very interesting, but you can't descriminate on something like IQ. Not allowing someone to voice their opinion just because they're not considered to be as intelligent as the majority is retarded. Wicked retarded. :P
MrTroy:
I'm sorry but allow me to say this.
I'm not stating which branch I voted for. But I'm annoyed at people saying stuff like "You should have a certain IQ in order to vote."
People with low IQs are annoying, yes. But in a country where there's suppose to be as much diversity as possible Americans sure do try to single people out all the darn time. :(
Maybe a test should be given, and how you answer the questions, determines where your vote goes.
That'll annoy people who don't really care out of voting. And you'll get more acurate results.
