    No, the questions would be related to the issues and offices on that particular ballot. It is pretty easy to use the candidate's stated positions and proposals. For issues there is always a Board of Elections statement of the pros and cons of each issue.

      Looks like you're trying to tell me what the questions should be. I am against that.

      It is pretty easy to use the candidate's stated positions and proposals. For issues there is always a Board of Elections statement of the pros and cons of each issue.

      There's "what the candidates say now," there's "what the candidates say two news cycles ago," there's "what the candidates say two weeks after their position statements are published by the Board of Elections," there's "what I believe the candidates will do," then there's "what the candidates actually do." How confident are you that they will all align? (Cue "no new taxes," "no foreign war.") What does that make of your proposal to base voter literary test questions on "the candidate's stated positions and proposals"?

        It means you bring up some really dumb rebuttals. 😁
