    If...

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

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

    3. 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.

    Wonder what the Federal government would look like with those simple rules for voting?

      There is still no such thing as a federal election.

          Probably be a big enough change if you required those tests just of the people running for office.

          Only non-witches get due process.

            Hell... there's probably millions of natural born Americans that could not pass the test that is given to BECOME an American citizen.

              I wasn't going to make it near that hard.

                You chaps want to make it more difficult to vote than to buy a firearm.

                What could possibly go wrong with that plan?

                The potential problem with only allowing people who are educated to vote, is when somebody a lot more educated than you are starts making the decisions....

                I was only joking

                    Admittedly not, however it's definitely easier for me to buy one than to vote 😀
