Nixon's Theorem

"The man who can smile when things go wrong has thought of someone he can blame it on."
 
I'm still conservative on this one. Photo IDs is a common sense thing.
I have other ideas about voting too, too conservative to even say out loud, call me crazy, but I think we should come up with some system that (within the voting system) rewards people who are heavily invested in their community and their country's future, and does the opposite for people who are mostly just dead weight on the system and not invested at all.

It's been tried. It was called a "poll tax" and was declared illegal. See also "Harper vs. Virginia State Board of Elections" (1966) which forever severed a link between wealth and voting. A billionaire citizen and a homeless citizen in theory have equal rights to vote, though some states DO have a more formal residential requirement as a means of identification, with the goal of keeping voter rolls current.
