...no idiot or insane person should enjoy the right of suffrage.That lovely little passage was added to the state document in 1844 in order to prevent people suffering with mental illness from voting in local, state, and federal elections.
State Senate President Richard Codey, a Democrat, introduced a bill on Monday that would remove the language from the state constitution.
By way of a constitutional amendment.
Which voters will have to approve.
Just not the idiots.
