Should Internet Commenters Be Allowed to Vote?
Ben Smith reports:
A modest proposal from Jonathan Rauch and Benjamin Wittes, who propose a constitutional amendment that says if you post on internet message boards, you'll be banned from voting for two years.
The strong>amendment<::
A civilized cyberspace being necessary for the sanity of a free state, the right of the People to be secure against unreasonable Internet comments shall not be infringed. No person leaving a comment, or any legal incident thereof, on any web site shall vote in any federal, state, or local election within two years, or within such lengthier period as the Congress or the legislatures of the several states shall direct.
