I think I could get behind these liberals on this one.

I agree a 10 question test of US government in order to vote 70% is the passing grade.

That would have a racially biased outcome.

Literally Jim Crow era policy.

Voting written exams are ok but Voter ID is racist? It has to be an elaborate troll on there

Agree, why I thought Hillary calling them out ie the 'basket of deplorables' line was a good strategy, one she and her team should've doubled down on.

Voters need to be challenged and shaken up sometimes, Dems don't seem to get this.


YES. DO THIS. PLEASE.

Considering some of the MENSA members that Democrats have elected...maybe we need literacy tests for elected officials.

Well, you know damn well that they will insist on Affirmative Action grading because they'll claim that ANY test (even one made up by all Dims) will be culturally biased.

How about a similar test for those wanting to run for office?

“Yeah, my fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.”



ETA: navy beat me to it.

Why don't we just not allow only the people that pay taxes to vote. That's the way it should be.

I’d also be fine with candidates on the ballot being subject to said test. That’s gonna weed out some sitting politicians.
