Shouldn’t Voting Be Made More Difficult?
David Harsanyi: “Last week in Colorado, scores of negligent teachers and their pliable students took to the streets to protest the implementation of a curriculum that goes heavy on teaching the responsibilities of citizenship rather than romanticizing the state. … Is it any wonder that so many young people have ridiculously outsize expectations about what government can or should be doing? Is it any wonder that so many people can be so easily manipulated with emotional appeals – and the kind of ‘bed-wetting’ and scaremongering we hear every day? … I’m not worried about widespread [voter] fraud – though it certainly happens on occasion. I’m worried about too many uninformed and unmotivated people registering to vote. We should demand some effort.”
