In the right wing talking sphere they’re talking a lot about how it should be one vote per household. Normalizing business and home owning men being the only voters.
These people hate America.
"Ankh-Morpork had dallied with many forms of government and had ended up with that form of democracy known as one man, one vote. The Patrician was the Man; he had the vote."
Terry Pratchett, Mort
Or from Unseen Academicals:
"Everyone is entitled to a vote unless disqualified by reason of not being the Patrician"
I'm literally reading Unseen Academicals right now and that line sure did stike a chord.
