Knowledge

I think people should be tested before they can vote.

A simple test. Do you know the 3 branches of govt.

Do you know the issues on the ballot

I agree. I am going to assume you voted in the last elections.

Question: Did we, de facto, block blacks from voting, mostly in the South, by requiring some voters to answer a certain set of questions, before they're allowed to vote?

- Yes
- No

@St0ut Then you fail the test and you should not be allowed to vote.

@Northwest welll you are misconstruing facts to support your argument in a few ways.

1. The question you posed was a current events question. Not a fundamental Civics questions

2 the question you posed was misleading as there was court documented evidence of deliberate racial suppression by the GOP. It was not in the format You suggested in the question. If your need to falsify something to support your point of view. That shows the weakness of your argument.

Well, let's see....

Current events? You've got to be kidding me! It's more like US History 101. You fail again.

I have no idea what this means. I was pointing out to you, the slippery slope "voter qualification" questions, can be, based on our recent history, as recent as the 1960s, but of course your myopia is fogging your vision.

One other thing that seems to escape you, is how these "literacy" questions, were used by the AngloSaxons in the US, to restrict immigration from Catholic and Slavic countries.

But, I guess if it does not fit your narrative, then it's a weak argument, despite the fact that you're completely setting our history aside.

@SW-User You really need to lay off the drugs, and the trolling.
