Hard disagree. Yes, there are a lot of uneducated people out there, but the solution should be to improve the education system itself.

If we start excluding people, who would actually decide the questions on such a test? We all are biased towards something. You might as well end up being quizzed about the bible or even worse, get excluded because you don't believe in certain conspiratory crap.

Oh you don't believe Iraq was responsible for 9/11? No vote for you.

Despite my rant above, I also agree. There’s literally no way to do it without eventual abuse. It would never work. I came off more serious than I was.

But you have to admit, there are a lot of people out there who you take one look at and think “man, I can’t believe that person gets a vote”.
