TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

QuoteConnecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island

I find it interesting that those three are the ones that keep coming up when I have this conversation, since none of those three had anything about voting rights in their state constitutions (except Delaware, which just said they were going to preserve the old voting rights system).  Making it impossible for me to confirm it.

I don't suppose you have a source for that (not just somebody saying its true, but able to point to a bill or section of the state code that backs it up).

Hmmm...Can't find anything in the constitution about a property requirement.

IIRC there were two states that had a property requirement.  One required that you owned land in a town or lived in a town for a full year in order to vote in town elections, the other required property of 40$ (this need not be land) for any voting.

Talking about the United States constitution, with regard to federal elections.

However, it is important to remember that the US was not a "democracy" in the 1700's in fact most of the founding fathers thought democracy=anarchy. Here's a quote from John Adams:

And they were right.

But what's your point?  Democracies and republics both involve the franchise.
