Constitution of the State of Ohio, Article Five, section 6
Article Five: Elective Franchise
section 6: idiots or insane persons

No idiot, or insane person, shall be entitled to the privileges of an elector


That rules out half the GOP

4. Use logic...
We wouldn't vote for Bush if you held a gun to our heads.

3. Enforced? - 14th amendment - US Constitution
Section 2.
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age,* and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State

Are Idiocy and Insanity crimes?

5. "In any way abridged" --- that has happened
The right to vote doesn't just include casting the ballot: it includes COUNTING the ballots. This was brought up by a man at the DC hearing. Let's reduce their representation....
