    Then we may as well restrict impoverished groups of people who can’t get a good enough education from voting. Since they don’t vote, we should just pull even move funding from them. We should also make them work for their basic sustenances since they can’t contribute anything else. Let’s even quarantine them to certain areas to make sure they don’t put too much strain on our society. Without them having a voice, only working for basic necessities, and being confined, we should just call them slaves.

        It’s illustrating the point of why restricting certain groups of people from voting is very ill-advised. It may seem like an extreme example, but it can get the point across.

        It pretty much says that when you start to remove voting rights from some people based on something that may be out of their hands, it can open that system up to be abused. Just like what the US experienced with women and blacks. (We remember the Suffrage and Civil Rights Movements, right?)
