I've personally read the literacy tests designed to disenfranchise black voters. I don't think I could've passed it myself. So I think there's a pretty great historical precedent against the ideas of tests. On the other hand, allowing "uninformed" people an equal voice in the decision making process as someone who has spent hours studying the positions and issues also seems wrong. An interesting idea I had would be weighing votes based on a short test, and using the test to multiply a vote. Giving "informed" voters a greater voice. How you build the test fairly though, is the tough part.
