Voting for federal elections must be done in person, with ID. Could be absentee, but must be done in person.

A 6th grade level literacy test was enforced. Or even a third grade level.

When registering to vote, the prospective voter must pass a basic, multiple choice test on how the Federal government functions. Stuff like the three branches of government, what does SCOTUS do, etc.
