We should have the same requirement for people voting in elections.
We tried that a century ago, but it was just racism in disguise. Why would we assume any questionnaire people must take today won't be abused for other agendas?

Same with voter ID. It’s touted as “racist” although other poorer countries easily handle the issue of voter ID.

It’s almost as if one political party amasses power by continually brow beating their constituents into a victim mentality.
