Its an interesting point to bring up. Given the historical context, landowner-only-voting would conjur up a point in American history that was segregated. That might make it racially sensitive, however, outside of its century+ old baggage, I see nothing intrinsically racist in landowner-only voting; SRP does this currently in its board election, so you'd have to say they're racist and that anyone giving them money is supporting racism. > I bit on the flame bait.
