In a recent article, it appeared that Mr. Renner has suggested that people 
should demonstrate an ability to vote before they are allowed to vote. I may 
have misinterpreted this, but if I did not, I have two problems with this 
suggestion. One, I wouldn't trust *anyone* enough to establish a specific 
criteria for voters. Two, assuming that some criteria could be established, and
that it involved specific kinds of knowledge, I wouldn't trust *anyone* to 
ensure that the information was not deliberately kept from some group of people.

PS. Voting credentials have already been used, and disgarded as a bad idea.
