I think whithers that legal is pretty clear. Is it clear constitutionally since our laws our derived from that. Going to have to read the federalist papers more indepth

Yeah, now see much better description in Az statute.

yet much different state to state...

Interesting. How so?

AZ statute is great read

https://law.justia.com/codes/arizona/2011/title16/section16-165/ Is the exceptions for legal voters that the statuette doesn't describe there in-depth if you wanted it. @Whithers

I read a lot of the RSMo when I was an alderman here in my little pretentious village/4th class city. Some of what was written in it then couldn't be diagrammed as a sentence if one had Churchill and Einstein working together to figure it out.

I'm not sure how I feel about mentally deficient people being ineligible to vote, if I'm reading this right.

And that's sort of what it sounds like.

Well like if in Florida and a felon you may never vote again in their state. In Michigan it is only for the time that you are locked up mostly. yea yea Variance as to voting pratices and what is "Legal" is much different.

3. "Incapacitated person" means any person who is impaired by reason of mental illness, mental deficiency, mental disorder, physical illness or disability, chronic use of drugs, chronic intoxication or other cause, except minority, to the extent that he lacks sufficient understanding or capacity to make or communicate responsible decisions concerning his person. In cases of limited guardianship only, a person is not deemed an incapacitated person for purposes of voting if the person files a petition and has a hearing and the judge determines by clear and convincing evidence that the person retains sufficient understanding to exercise the right to vote pursuant to section 14-5304.02.

That's the definition @Maw

Well, just remember that someone has to decide who is and isn't mentally deficient. Which would mean social scientists, who are all on the Left, deciding all conservatives are mentally deficient and cannot vote.

Could one not just move, then?

question is what states change the law with electoral vote if biden dosent make it and drops out of race now

So basically anyone that's considered still a dependant over the age of 18?

Legally, anyway.

Faithless electors' fate is entirely up to the states to enforce, as far as I know.

In utah it is legal for felon to vote as long as they are not incarcerated on probation or parole.

I suppose but how does that work? How is that not considered Voter Suppression in both accounts.

We have had incredibly few occurrences of the EC differing from popular opinion.

@Maw we have a legal process here to make that determination but practically I don't know how it would work.

I don't know how I feel about it, but that's the libertarian in me.

I think so @Zuluzeit

I understand it, don't know if I agree with it though.

But that's much of the legal system in a nutshell.

lol

My idea if you want the homeless problem cleared up just put a vote requirement that you must have a residence. Watch how fast both teams scramble to get them a place to live to "Earn they vote"

Lol

I'm for one excited about the war on drugs coming to an end.

Albeit slow, it's progressing.

My favorite statute is RSMo 1.010: 1. The common law of England and all statutes and acts of parliament made prior to the fourth year of the reign of James the First, of a general nature, which are not local to that kingdom and not repugnant to or inconsistent with the Constitution of the United States, the constitution of this state, or the statute laws in force for the time being, ...

That is a lot of words just to say 1607.

My ex has under 70 IQ midly mental retarded. By mmpi so if she lived in az it could be questionable. But under Utah law no issue.

I want to see millions more Americans not in prison over minor drug offenses.

That's what makes this a great republic since states are sovereign to the Federal government

I would like to see millions more of US just not do stupid stuff.

i dream for 70iq

Heck can't even get 2 truckers to agree on where to get coffee hahahahahaha

Of course, if we didn't do stupid stuff, then Mr Gruler would be out of a job, 😉

Minor drug offenses aren't a harm to anyone else, and prison is usually something you use as a last resort for people that are a danger to others.

and whats common law they still use that
