Quote:You'd still have to pass the test.  The test can easily be made to keep people they want to keep from voting from getting their license.  You're assuming they'll keep to making the test about the electoral process and branches of government, and not add additional things that weed out voters that agree with their policy.

 

Admittedly it is an issue that would require oversight, more details and individuals more knowledgeable then me. I argue for it on principle as a way to discourage the lazy voter (the 80% that didn't know the name of their state rep, 60% that couldn't name the three branches of government) these people are the greatest threat to our republic. Their susceptible to anything they have no knowledge or understanding of the system so they are able to participate unknowingly in destroying the system.
