Should you have to pass a test in order to vote?
If voting is a duty, shouldn't there be a common-sense-test you have to pass in order to vote? Does such a test exist? Can it be created?
Shouldn't we require a small IQ test at voting booths, so as to not let idiots influence our fates? Plus maybe a literacy test? What if their was a test on knowledge about general politics to vote (it would be easy enough that a relatively dumb person could study and pass)? Why is it important to vote? Why the right to vote should be quashed? Would the United States run better if candidates for political office were required to pass an aptitude test? If so, what would that test look like? If not, why not? Why should people vote? Should voting be a luxury rather than a right? Should the smarter people only be allowed to vote? Does compulsory voting strengthen or weaken democracy? Why is popular voting required, if US Presidential election results are decided on basis of electoral votes? Why do people vote? How does voting without an ID work? Why do some people oppose voting ID laws? Should there be a minimum educational qualification or wealth to be eligible to vote? Is it true that if I don't register to vote, then I cannot be selected for jury duty? What would the government be like if only the intelligent were allowed to vote? What is the connection between the popular vote and the electoral vote? Why does it matter that we vote at all? Why do politicians (not in the U.S.) have the right to vote themselves a payrise? Shouldn't the people determine whether they deserve a payrise? I've tried, but I still don't understand: How does the Electoral College assure a fairer vote than the popular vote? Why does the popular vote matter in America if the electoral college has the final say? What are the disadvantages of using Range Voting in the US voting system? How are electoral votes determined? Why should I vote? Fine should be taken or not for not voting? Should statewide test be abolished? If one must be able to know English to become an American Citizen, and one must be a Citizen to vote, why are ballots in languages other than English? Why is jury service mandatory but voting optional in the United States? Can illegal citizens vote in U.S elections? Secondly, why is it a big deal to have a voter ID? Do we need to watch our votes and double check they are not changed, possibly the machine rigged, in US Presidential election? Can the electors in the Electoral College ignore what their votes "are supposed" to be, and vote on conscience? Would US elections be any different if everyone who was allowed to vote did so?
