That sounds like voter suppression. I'd suggest going the other way and making felons being able to vote.
Real issue is the playing field needs to be levelled. Overturn Citizens United will be a great start and limiting campaign donations to be only limited individual contributions and state sponsorship if a party gets over 2.5%. Any gifts, including whole airplanes and 250B ballrooms would be illegal.
Also stock trading while in office is an obvious conflict of interest. Ideally people in government shouldn't be allowed to hold stock as that would be a clear conflict of interest. Such as owning stock in Lockheed Martin would be an incentive for going to war.
Just pay reps 200k a year instead. It comes out as around 100M yearly.
