Should there be intelligent and reasoning tests for voting?

[Hobbit XIII]

Simply put so everybody can understand the concept.

Should people have tests that require a certain score in order to vote?

Make it so. Whilst we're at it everyone should grow tomatoes and if you fail to grow a good amount you can't buy food grown from farms, or buy food at the store, because everyone needs to be book smart, but not knowing how to grow food is probably even worse than knowing random crap from textbooks. Can't eat textbooks

A science test makes no sense because science is fallible, and it's supposed to be repeatedly tested to try to disprove a hypothesis

You mean an IQ test? Yes I believe deeply it should be required although its highly unconstitutional so no dice my man.

God, no. There's a really sordid history surrounding stuff like that.

Now, running for office should probably require passing at least a Sophomore-level Civics test.

It`s apparently not required to run for president so why would you need one to vote.

No.

As long as they have not been declared Mentally Incompetent, are an Adult, and are not under the care of a Legally Appointed Guardian/Conservator as an adult, they should be allowed to practice their inalienable Right To Vote as a Citizen of their Country.

That's it. Period. No other restrictions for a human being's Right of self-determination through their Right To Vote.


ANY restrictions or qualifications or requirements that someone suggests should be applied to any adult human being in possession of their faculties is an extremely dangerous "slippery slope" that puts power in the hand of those who define those restrictions.

Do that... and it will not end until blood has been spilled. That is the way of Tyrants and the result is the only way to get rid of Tyrants when they have taken away all other options....
