Unlike driving, voting is a right, not a privilege. As asinine as it may seem, I can vote for candidate X because of the way he dresses if I want to....that is my right as a citizen. The ability of every citizen to participate in government is a cornerstone of democracy. It only takes a casual look at history to see that the people suffer when this fact is forgotten or ignored.
