Should American voters have to pass a test to vote? (Details )

Much has been made of Trump and his qualifications. Rightly so, but the qualifications are pretty much as low as it gets.

@NerdyKeith had a thread about the presidential candidate’s stipulations.

What about voters?

You lose your right to vote if you go to prison. I assume that the government doubts your judgement , and that’s why you lose your vote.

Why shouldn’t a voter be expected to pass a test about the candidates, and /or how the government works, world issues, agendas of each candidate etc.

I ask because I have a strong feeling that many voters were ill informed (on both sides.)

If they wanted to vote, they would be forced to be aware of what they were voting for /against.

You have to sign waivers to make sure you’re aware of your rights,and that of others in most large scale business transactions, like renting/buying a car, buying/renting a home, renting a damn kayak.

Electing the leader of the most powerful, important nation in the world requires only that you haven’t died, or been incarcerated by 18….

Really?
