If you don't work and pay taxes I don't think you should have a say in the matter.

When I was 5 my mom left my alcoholic dad. He was a deadbeat who was never in my life and it was nearly impossible to get him to pay child support. A few years after that, my mom got laid off from work and was out of work for a month or so before finding a new job. I have asthma and needed medication which wasn't cheap. She needed help. We went on food stamps for about a year while my mom got established in a new job and got health insurance.
Had there been an election during that year, my mom should lose her right to vote because she left a shitty marriage?
