It's disconcerting to see both left and right leaning people actively asking for voter suppression "intelligence" tests similar to the Jim Crow era. I don't agree with a fair portion of the population but I want them to vote.

I like the first part about eliminating the age requirement but the basic test is dumb. It's biased and history has shown us that it can be discriminatory towards certain groups because of these test's biases.

If designed fairly and inclusively, such a test might serve to ensure that voters have a basic understanding of the political system. For example, Canada has certain knowledge requirements for citizenship. They provide study materials and ensure that the test is accessible and fair for everyone, regardless of their background. Could a similar approach work for a voting test, or do you see other potential pitfalls?
