    Voting is so important, it’s a rite of passage and a symbolic, almost religious ceremony. If you just sign everybody up to do it willy-nilly, they won’t take it seriously. Better that people should have to jump through a few hoops so only the people that really care can partake.

          You did spell it correctly in your usage, but I believe the other commentor is saying that voting is a right, rather than a rite of passage.

      A lot of the people who “really care” about voting don’t have any clue about the candidates, democracy, or the Constitution. They just have a lot of time on their hands and watch a lot of TV telling them what to be afraid of and who to vote for, basically straight Republican.
