"Forced." No. That contradicts both what so-called liberals and conservative Americans say they stand for. Freedom. Claiming a person is "stupid" because they don't resort to ways you think they should agree on and follow is arrogant.
Everyone should be Mandated to go back to elementary then middle then high school if they don’t have a B+ or higher on every test every piece of homework throughput there years then they should not be allowed to Vote.
It might help us to weed out the stupid democrat voters but, seeing as the bulk of the country is already republican, I don't think that many stupid voters is gonna change the outcome. Joe knew that. That''s why he had to cheat so badly!
Absolutely, and it should not be the only test. There should be a comprehensive test over the nation’s history as well as government types past and present.
No cause intelligence doesn't account for human biases. Someone could said 1 1 equals two and someone would still disagree not because they don't understand that question but because 1 1=2 doesn't benefit them as much as 1 1=4 does, you feel me?
I would do it differently. As in the film Starship Troopers, franchise would come after military service. I would add a requirement for ownership of a qualifying amount of property.
The current democracy as it is understood today is an ognagocracy or the government of donkeys, so no. In an epistocratic system, that is a form of government in which the right to vote is subordinated to knowledge of the topics, yes.
No, mainly because that skews the laws in favour of the smart and democracy requires equality in this sense. If we deny the rights of the stupid, they start doing stupid things. The illusion of freedom is important.
there should be one before they're allowed to work. far too many people working these days amaze me for the simple fact they haven't accidentally killed themselves trying to make toast in the bath.
It’s not segregation, that’s not the problem. Stupid people do a lot of things they shouldn’t be allowed to. The problem here is voting is considered their constitutional and god-given right, so why are we allowed to take it away?

Vote? I think people should have an intelligence test before they use a knife and fork. So many total airheads in the world today

It sounds good but according to the Constitution everyone gets a vote. Besides , who gets to make the test? Who decides what the passing score is?

There are always some people who would disagree even solid proven facts.
It's a lot more than some my dear, if the intelligent people hold the same idiotic views then why should intelligence be a factor

No because then mentally challenged people coulnd't vote. there should instead be an "eligibility" test.
Vote counts for the entire nation would be like 12,634 - 11,796, and that’s only that high because I’m feeling generous tonight lmfao🤦♂️😂

How would republicans ever get a vote?
I'm sure there is something even funnier to be said about the Democrats, but at least we know that both sides are stupid.
IQ tests are no longer held as reliable or accurate.
Nope. The 19th amendment to the Constitution gave women the right to vote.
That would be unconstitutional- literacy tests were once used to illegally restrict the right to vote.
One politician in my country says that "it can't look like this, that 2 bums drinking beer have more votes than an academic professor".

You would Fail my Standard Number: 🙃
be careful what you wish for 🚫
No... that sounds a lot like segregation... kind of like how they justified not letting people of color or women to vote...

@Gavyn We aren't, it is a constitutional right, to undermine that would be to undermine the very foundation of what this country was built on.
It was a rhetorical question.
@Gavyn it was a rhetorical statement.
That’s... not a thing but alright. Lolz
@Gavyn rhetorical is defined as relating to or concerned with the art of rhetoric. So by definition, it is.
Yes, but nobody makes “rhetorical statements,” those are just called statements.
@Gavyn I just did
