Not so fast. While that’s certain ideal, I would venture to say the only time in the nation’s history that was true was in the immediate aftermath of the Revolutionary War when only landed, presumably educated white men could vote.

Yep. AKA the well fed, the well bred, the well read, and the well bed.

Of course there was one exception to the white men; from 1790 to 1807, New Jersey allowed single white women of means to vote.

That was prior to the great drone attack of 2-aught 24.

And the obligatory “you can’t fix stupid.”
