NJ voters: constitutional amendment on idiot/insane person
It is actually funny that this phrase is still in our state constitution for so many years.
It reads:
Shall the amendment of Article II, Section I, paragraph 6 of
the Constitution, agreed to by the Legislature, revising the
current constitutional language concerning denial of the right
to vote by deleting the phrase “idiot or insane person” and
providing instead that a “person who has been adjudicated
by a court of competent jurisdiction to lack the capacity to
understand the act of voting” shall not enjoy the right of
suffrage, be adopted?
Just imagine...you can find a bigshot lawyer who can argue that half of the voting population could be considered idiots because they are just mindless zombies voting for their elected leaders because the political party told them to. =)
