well just describe what you mean, for the sake of argument
Basically a house on a certain amount of land
real property
So a person would be allowed to vote if they have atleast, a house on a certain sized strip of land?
that's the word
yes
Basically so you can't be a poor person voting for welfare
poor person = crack head
fair enough, but what if you have a rich person/company, buying lots of land, dividing it up, placing a minimum required shack there, and selling it to people, on the condition they vote what the rich person want?
thereby locking out the other voters
anonymous voting
they wouldn't find out
also I'm fine with that
well you don't need to care for anonymous voting, just give a row of immigrants/protesters of the same side property
so you can swing the vote in your favor
they are Voluntarily having person vote for them
they can make that choice
true, but they can influence it,
By buying like 1,000 sq kilometers of land,
And giving 1,000 people the vote
As opposed to a farmer who can't do the same, thus creating a voting gap of roughly 1:1000
Electoral college
but thats per state
also remove the 17th amendment
I'm not familiar with the rights to vote over state lines
cuz you can effectively, buy land in like, Kansas, or Nebraska, or one of those flyover states, give it to some californian person, and since they have property in said state, you can fly them over there to vote
You would obviously have to be a resident of that state
like i said i'm not that familiar with US voting laws,
in EU, other country citizens can vote in local elections in my country :S
I can have Portugese people vote in my Dutch elections
weird
but that wouldn't work in the USA
fair point
to vote you must be a resident of that state
The founding fathers figured this all out
they were smart af
nah
cuz you can given time, basically deplatform your opponents
by basically buying up all land
during the founding of the US, there was more land than people, so you could just re-settle, and vote though that
We have a lot of land still
yeah, but you can lay claim to it
back then, there wasn't enough people/influence to claim a few thousand miles of land
