According to the Constitution of the State of New Jersey, Article II, paragraph 6:

No idiot or insane person shall enjoy the right of suffrage.

Why are constitutional articles labelled with Roman numerals? Makes it sound like the Super Bowl or something.

The state appellate court did rule a few years ago that being hospitalized for psychiatric treatment does not constitute being insane for the purpose of determining voter eligibility.

Today is Election Day in the United States. Don’t forget to vote! (Void where prohibited.)

Raymond Chen

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
