Really? 240 years ago only the white elite had the vote. Recent past - Gore and Hillary both won more votes than their opponet. Yet what were the results - 8 years of Dubya, at least four of a clown, should he survive... Susyem works? Doubt it. The article was about reform, and Canada, where 61% did not want Trudeau also needs it. Coincindence or not, Tru are the three first letters in common for fawning PM's and clown prez-elect's last names. No E for true, is there?

Dear anonymous. Where did my comment suggest 240 continuous years of only elite voting? Merely stated that it was that way in the beginning. The American system has improved since Washington's and Jefferson's day - btw both deists, maybe atheists, - who saw no place for the Church in governing. Irony then, that the ultra-right Christians were the deciding bloc that brought victory for the Donald.
It took a century and a half (almost) for women to get the vote. POCs were art the back of the bus in living memory, not allowed to use the elite's drinking fountains. Quite the equal rights empire.

Again, no suggestion of anybody being denied the vote in 2016. But what about the allegations of illegals voting in California? Not answered by the left-of-center media....

Was this the first presidential election in which "undocumented/illegal" immigrants in the United States were encouraged/allowed to vote?
