I'd rather people just be required to take a quiz like http://isidewith.com http://isidewith.com I'm guessing a fair number of people would be surprised by the result.
- mattnewton 10y agoThe problem is who gets to set the questions on the quiz. This inevitably ends up being discriminatory.
- ythn 10y agoI was pretty surprised to see I aligned with Trump on most issues, but I am also skeptical that Trump really holds all of those stances.
- coredog64 10y agoGeorge Santayana would like you to visit Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_test https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_test
- tlrobinson 10y agoSo have an audio version available?
- tangent128 10y agoLiteracy tests were not about literacy; the questions were often intentionally ambiguous (Think "What is the last letter of the first word?" or "Write backwards forwards."), allowing the instructor full discretion in passing or failing the would-be voter. Predictably, nonwhite voters tended to be failed.
- tlrobinson 10y agoThen what I suggested bears no resemblance to a literacy test. You wouldn't need to "pass" the test, just simply take it in order to encourage you to consider the issues and how the candidates align with your views. But I agree with the other commenter, selecting the questions in a fair way would be challenging.
