Bring back the poll test...

[BolivarianHero]

I understand it's sad history, but today it could be used to exclude the very ignoramuses who once used them to exclude African-Americans...It just needs two simple questions answered correctly.

1. What is the approximate age of the Earth?
2. What is Barack Obama's religion?

1. Who passes depends upon who grades the test. - n/t

2. I like the idea of a test you take before voting.

No matter what you score on the test, you will get at least 1.0 vote.
Depending on your score, your vote will receive a weight
such as 1.1, 1.3, to a maximum of something like 1.5.
The test would be like a constitution test for citizenship,
with other questions about history and geography,
not just of the United States but the world.
There would be several hundred of these questions
and you would receive a 20 question test of questions
picked at random.

3. So no questions like the one I suggested...

Damn...It would be nice to exclude those morons form the ballot box.

4. (1) It's been here as long as I can remember. (2) Ask him, not me.

5. Ha! I once heard a poll saying that 55% of americans believed the earth was created

by god in the last 10,000 years, I'd like to live in a country where they didn't hold so much power(or any power for that matter). But in all seriousness, I'd like the test that asks, How many States are there in the U.S? and Who is the current Vice President? that would clear away tons of ignorant voters. :eyes:
