Knoxville enacts property requirement to vote

We were absolutely flabbergasted to discover this, as it ranks right up there with Delaware towns giving voting "rights" to corporations (which the Nazis also did).

The Knoxville News Sentinel ran a story recently noting that the city of Knoxville, Tennessee, now enforces a property requirement to vote in city elections. 

This unconstitutional rule allows those who own property in the city to vote even if they don't live there. This means almost 300 people may have been able to vote in Knoxville who do not live in the city, thus receiving special rights in violation of the "one person, one vote" principle. There are reportedly 2 other cities in Tennessee that practice similar discrimination. According to a Facebook post, one of the others is the small town of Lexington.

We're usually not big fans of "This time we mean it" laws, but we think it's time to amend the U.S. Constitution to reinforce the "one person, one vote" idea and bar people from voting in jurisdictions where they do not live. If that doesn't happen, the National Guard should be pressed into service to enforce fair voting rights. Barring that, the people should enforce the law and make citizen's arrests of election officials who participate in violating "one person, one vote."
