Should there be voter competency tests?

Voter ID : yes

all that other stuff....no

In the past the test were used to screen for race. Even if a black person could answer correctly they were told they were wrong.

If you did multiple choice on Scantron sheet, and graded by machine, racial bias could be eliminated.

I'm perfectly fine with competency tests. It'll hurt both sides.

I know plenty of dumbasses who could pass a basic history test that I don't want deciding the fate of the country....it just doesn't and shouldn't work that way.

Hell yeah!!! Lets go back to the good ole days when we could count some folks as only 3/5 of a person!!!

Come on man....yall be for real.

I support

VoterID

And you must pass a civics class before you can receive it. You should know the basics of how our government functions before you receive the ability to decide who we select to represent us.

It’s quite easy. Both sides think they’re voting for their own interests, when in reality they’re voting against it.

Democrats often vote for their platform because they expect a hand out. But yet it’s the Republicans that give the hand outs (see the stimulus).

Republicans often vote for their platform because they think they’ll economically benefit. But yet there has been two recessions with a Republican in office this millennia.

I had one lady I used to work with that was a die hard Republican. Just blindly followed it. She started taking her Social Security out early in fear that it would disappear if she didn’t. But Trump wants to rid of it.

It amazes me (on both sides) of how little people understand how the world works and how no party is actually correct or going to follow what they believe in.

It absolutely happened. She also believed that there were going to be death panels. Can’t make this stuff up.

and therein lies one big problem. How the frick do we get a consensus on what determines competency, as it pertains to this right?

It will never happen. I'm just stating my wish list. And as long as i'm being unrealistic, i'd forego all qualifications for voting if each individual alive, would practice personal responsibility/accountability.
