    While I can agree that dummies shouldn’t be allowed to vote, how would/could/should we go about designing a proper voter verification program that more or less eliminates the actual dummies/sheeple?

    But I don’t think taking the voter factor completely out of the equation in favor of pure raw science is the answer either.

    If you leave everything to science, then science would say the world is overpopulated and we should eliminate half or more of the population…

      I read a short story where they took a humane approach to population reduction.

      An engineered disease. A short fever and then your uterus stops working. 95% effective.

      Rioting. All scientists hung. But the world was better.
