History proves that anything less than universal suffrage, even if ostensibly for the "right reasons" will be abused. On the grander scheme, any avenue for political groups to obtain or retain power will be abused. This is why we don't require licenses for people to have children, because the system will be abused in order to ensure a politically desirable future generation. I absolutely agree that most people are stupid and should not vote (to put it bluntly), but the alternative is much worse.
