    Lol of you’re one of those… While I agree that IQ tests are indeed just as problematic as you described, watching my father in law decline so quickly and so low that he couldn’t remember a word from a sentence he read less then a minute before tells me all I need to know. You want people like that making decisions for millions in the name of fairness?

      Yes, I do. Because I understand that excluding them (a fraction of a percent of people actually voting) will inevitably disenfranchise much larger swathes of voters that already face discrimination in every other facet of their lives.

      And what do you mean I’m “one of those”? Be clear if you’re going to disparage me.

        I hard disagree with those in cognitive decline be allowed in positions of power. I get what you’re saying in a broader sense, but not in the very real sense that those people aren’t capable of making logic based decisions for large groups of people.

        It was less a disparaging comment and more of a descriptive one. You’re a “can’t see the forest for the trees” person imo.
