No, actually it wouldn't. We in the US don't require land ownership to

so why should we grant voting rights because of land ownership?

We used to require land ownership to vote... Personally, I think it
was a mistake going away from it...

In many localities, people who own nothing more than a 6'x3' plot of land
get to vote.

Some of them quite frequently.

(In the 2004 election, 169 counties had higher vote TALLIES than they did
eligible voters. The same was true for the entire state of Maine. That's
what we need -- 110% voter turnout)
