Okay, now start thinking about what happens when the political party you like least takes power and starts rewriting the poll test questions to advantage themselves. Then perhaps you'll see why this would be a catastrophically bad policy.
- jjdin14 6y agoAre there not measures we could put in place to limit the possibility of this? E.g. Write a very basic and non-partisan test with clear answers and no room for subjectivity. Require x% of each party to approve the original test and any amendments in the future.
