To be a devils advocate, if you replace the word poor with uneducated, we have seen the consequences of those people being manipulated for votes in the current day.
Keeping poor women uneducated probably created a real perception that they were unqualified as voters, and in some cases, that may have been true.
Of course, the way to remedy that is to fund good education for everyone, not restrict people’s right to vote.
