I'm happy to let this one through. The right would never win another election.

Nope. The tests would be rigged. There's a reason they're illegal nearly everywhere in the world.

They didn’t make you study anything about the Jim Crow era in school?

Right???

I'm not even a fan of taking the right to vote away from criminals - since as I think we can see in the US, it gives the establishment reason to create more criminals.

Did I take high school civics? Of course. Heaven forbid a guy indulge a brief fantasy where the right permanently locks itself out of elections.

Literacy tests and similar things are historically not chill.

Tests done in bad faith have historically undermined the whole thing. (Which is what everyone is saying, but I am using different words to reach more readers.)

Anyone who thinks this is a good idea and makes less than 200k$ a year shouldn't have passed their 8th grade civics exam.

People thought that about the first Trump term.
