As for voting restrictions I think it would be reasonable to restrict national voting people that can pass the same naturalization test that immigrants seeking citizenship do. I would implement it as part of high school civics courses. Every kid raised in the US should have no issue passing the English and civics tests required of immigrants. Unfortunately, with the decline of civics courses in public schools I suspect there are large number of people today that would fail to pass a basic citizenship test.

- parineum 3y agoIt could definitely be done without _deliberately_ discriminating.
- tastyfreeze 3y agoIf you want to vote, you have to be a citizen. We require immigrants seeking citizenship to pass a civics test to participate in government. Yet, we don't hold those born as citizens to the same standard. That practice is based in an understanding that a person born here would be raised holding the ideals of the country. That is no longer a given.
