I agree with this too. I am not a republican. I want full transparency on all sides.
Both have some very bad apples and a few good ones.

Not really a bad idea. The electorate should be people that are informed and not sheep that do what they're told. That is the exact reason the Founders created the Electoral College. If you're a moron you shouldn't be able to vote.
I believe the conditions of the working/indentured people have progressed a lot since the 18th century. And, who do you want to appoint to test the voting capabilities and what will be the criteria used to base the judgement On? In my opinion a lot of “intelligent” people are easily swayed by the free flow of misinformation.
Why not the same test used to determine if you can become a citizen? It wouldn't be a matter of taking away the right to vote but rather living up to the right to vote.
What we call 'rights' are things that people simply made up. God didn't hand them down; we made them up to try and give some kind of framework for the newly born country.
Why should it be that a precious right is simply given away because of the location of your birth? How many people became citizens here simply by being born here to people who may not have legally been allowed to be here?
If you want to keep a democracy it has to be fought for, means tested at times.You should be aware of issues not simply vote because you had nothing better to do.
During the Ga Senate runoff Biden and the dem candidates were touting a vote for the dems means 2000 bucks in a check for them. Simple people voted for what? The best candidate or the one that's gonna give me stuff.How does a country survive if we vote not with a brain or understanding but just for free stuff?

Are you referring to the House of Representatives‘ vote 275-134 to meet President Donald Trump's demand for $2000 COVID-19 relief checks for all Americans. And, propose that people who can’t remember the names of the three branches of government and which one passes the laws should be denied the right to vote?
Very naive thinking on your part! This is more than some weird dude that's confused about his gender reading Mary had a Little Lamb to impressionable young children. This is GROOMING! Why am I not surprised when reprobates think it's no big dealio?
So it's okay for people to vote for a government that they have no idea about? Why not have 3 year olds vote then? I know only if they vote democrat.
Why cannot we expect or even demand that out electorate be educated in the government, how it functions, how it works? That's part of todays' issues; we lower standards to be inclusive or whatever.
A young black man in Memphis was beaten to death by 5 black thugs that just happened to be policemen. That city has had a tough time recruiting people to become policemen that they lowered their standards and that's what you got.
Having no standards to vote is just like Memphis. People will elect people who make the laws and run the country and all will be fine? They'll make all the right choices and the country will live happily ever after. Hey how's the country looking right now? Pretty sad if you ask me!

The primary purpose of the Electoral College is to maintain the power of the states and to support the idea that the election is decided by the states. It's not decided by the general population, otherwise the west coast and east coast states would rule the entire nation, because the majority of population lives in those regions.
The founding fathers were very wise! Another reason each state has two Senators - equal representation regardless of population density. I really don't want the libturd loons in New York & Commiefornia deciding presidential elections for the entire nation..... THANK GOD!!!
We are a constitutional republic which is one step further than a representative democracy. Both involve citizens voting for representatives to make laws and govern. The big difference is in a constitutional republic those elected representatives are bound to uphold a constitution.

We seem to be debating over nuances - Representative democracy vs pure democracy.
In a republic, a constitution or charter of rights protects certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government, even if it has been elected by a majority of voters. In a "pure democracy," the majority is not restrained in this way and can impose its will on the minority.
Most modern nations—including the United States - are democratic republics with a constitution, which can be amended by a popularly elected government. This comparison therefore contrasts the form of government in most countries today with a theoretical construct of a "pure democracy", mainly to highlight the attributes of a republic.
I agree the U.S. is not a pure democracy but rather a kind of democracy.

And a 3rd party distributes the money to Hunter and other family members?
Hunter made an Investment in the Chinese Company. With WHAT? Got a GOOD LAUGH out of that one!
The fact is that Hunter had no money to invest. These were influence deals which is not illegal. I'll pay you and you get me some good contacts for this or that. Kind of like being a lobbyist.
What makes this different is that the person Hunter was lobbying was the Vice President. You see that is very unethical and possibly illegal. When asked during the campaign he disavowed any knowledge of Hunters business dealings. Yes he was lying. Recently the National Archives released documents, emails and recordings that prove he was lying. He was involved very much in Hunters business. The next couple of weeks will be very interesting.

Interesting indeed. Hunter is definitely a low life that has been involved in drugs probably tax evasion, and questionable business dealings. However, it’s a bit premature to accuse Joe of lying based on allegations from over zealous Republicans on a revenge trip. If you have copies of the documents proving Joe lied, I would like to see them. I know my son has a business involving computer generated images and videos, but I have never asked him what he uses them for.
I put in the search parameters you suggested, but came up with unrelated crap. Can you be more specific?
