Absolutely 100% I wrote one of my college thesis on this topic.

The quantity of the vote is secondary to the quality of the vote. Only has to be accessible to all citizens but a competence test is 100% constitutional and needed. If you can’t identify the three branches of government or basic functions of government you shouldn’t be permitted to vote.

I hear you but that's not the point of voting, in my opinion.

A gun doesn't care if the operator knows what the three branches of government are.  And if someone's pointing a gun at me, I'm not going to quiz them on how the government works or current events, not unless I think it might distract him long enough to point it down and let me pass.

The point of voting is to let anyone who cares about how things work and who is in charge get a chance to have a say.  The point is, as long as they feel like they had a fair say in it, they probably won't be motivated to take their gun and try to get their way by force.
