I agree that it's a potentially dumb idea, it sounds like just another kind of Jim Crow era law that could very easily be misused to prevent people from running for office for any reason that people in power see fit (e.g. racism, sexism, other -isms). The only way I see it being a good idea is if you just need to answer the provided questions, and not necessarily "pass" the exam, but that would necessitate voters actually caring if their lawmakers know anything about tech (or the other variety of topics included).
