Cumulative voting my feidnrs is a good thing if we put it to use for the country. This is a precedent. There are several other precedents in which this was done. Its been established. Let it ride. Then, lets pass a voting rights act, or even an amendment (I can dream cant I?) that gives cumulative voting rights only to those who have EARNED them. e.g., Everyone gets one vote. But! If you have held a job for more than a year prior to the election, you can have two. Parents get votes for their children. Military members get votes for serving and another one if theyve seen combat and another one if they were wounded in combat. Business owners, employing more than ten people and active in the management of their business get one for having the business. A college degree gets you one. A graduate degree gets you one. By this formulation I could have four or five votes right now.
