My answer is no. Just think about this...
If you are selected for jury duty, you are screened...and some people are ultimately deemed unfit to make a sound decision come trial time and are not allowed to participate.
So why then is everyone allowed to vote...no matter how irrational, illogical or mentally unfit they are?
Aren't the presidential elections a much higher stake game than some single court case?
So here is my suggestion. Some kind of computer-based pre-vote screening test should be implemented. It will be taken on election day at the same time an individual goes to vote.
Everyone participates in the screen and then proceeds to vote. No one knows if they pass the screen or not. If they pass the screen, their vote counts. If they don't pass the screen, their vote doesn't count.
In all likelihood, the individuals dumb/crazy enough to fail the screen will be too stupid/delusional to know that they didn't pass it and their vote didn't count.
This is a revolutionary idea guys. Let's make voting great again.
And if that isn't feasible..then maybe do something like only people who got above a 1400 on their SATs can vote. That might work too.
