Maybe we should actually have a meaningful test that is based on scientific evidence of understanding things like consequences and the current (at the time) structure of the government. Failing the test, BTW, doesn't mean an individual can't vote (ever, just until they re-pass "high school"): it means society has failed them and they now qualify for extended schooling to correct their lack of education. Including provided room and board while they are studying as well as medical care to correct for sources of learning defects (such as poor vision, etc). If someone is too impaired to be able to pass high school in that supporting environment then they should be 'retired' the same way someone with a more obvious disability is.
