How would it discriminate against people who might make informed decisions? The only qualification is that you have the understanding required to do so.

- mbreese 16y agoThese tests have been used to discriminate against various minority groups throughout the years. For example, you may have a perfectly good grasp of the issues and who best represents your point of view, but you suck at math. No votes for you. Or, you can't read. etc... that's why these tests have been been illegal for quite a while.
- frobozz 16y ago"you may have a perfectly good grasp of the issues and who best represents your point of view" Yes, and this is all you need to prove - an example of such a test would be the ability to match up policy statements to candidates. No need for a maths test. Regarding the inability to read - If blind people can currently vote in your country, then the problem does not exist.
