The meaning of "idiot" - statutory language...‏

• 
  

All over the world, particularly in the U.S.A. 

any idiot can be elected for president, 

senator, representative, major, etc, although

until six years ago, idiots couldn't vote in New Jersey.

Note that statutory language says that

we should understand for what was normally

called idiot, a person who has been 

adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction 

to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting 

should not enjoy the right of suffrage.

How many in our country,

that vote, and especially

those that are considered qualified

for that citizen right, but don't

participate on the election processes

understand the act of voting

and its consequences?
