Bobert said, [[Ahhhh, yes... the "informed electorate" issue...

Like I have said before I think that each ballot should have two parts... The first part a simple quiz on civics and current events and the second part the ballot...

Now all the ballots would be cast but only those with an acceptable score on part one of the ballot would be counted...

And part one doesn't have to be hard:

Sample question:
Which of the following is not one of the three branches of governemnt:
A. The Legislative branch
B. The NASCAR branch
C. The Executive branch

B~]]
LOL, Bobert.

But, of course, that's been tried before. Ruled unconstitutional, of course, just like poll taxes (substitutes for which are finding their way back into usage). But it sure helped keep a lot of blacks, recent immigrants, and "poor white trash" from being able to vote.
