The way America started out one could only 'vote' as an 'elector' if: 1) one was a man, and 2) one owned land.

I don't think the "man" thingy is going to go over too well these days.

I think the original idea was "one vote per responsible family". Right now a lot of couples cancel each other's votes (and that is probably by design).
