Flawed
If felons and people in mental institutions are prevented from voting, why do we give fundamentalists a pass?
Over at the Huffington Post, David Horton writes, perhaps a bit facetiously , that the country might be better off if we disenfranchised people whose mental processes are so flawed they can be whipped into a frenzy by demagogues who merely utter the words "gay marriage" or "evolution."
