And yet people like this are (a) allowed to vote at all and (b) allowed to vote for demagogues like Osama. D’oh!

Yes, and note what government run schools produce, by design.

Not only do they vote they run for and hold office!!!!

The test is flawed though. It does not have the right answer to the first and, by implication, the second question.

1. Suppose you had $100 in a savings account and the interest rate was 2 percent per year. After 5 years, how much do you think you would have in the account if you left the money to grow?

The correct answer is that after taxes the amount will be closer to less than you started with.

Note that the states have never amended the Constitution to prohibit the states from requiring candidate voters to answer the referenced questions correctly before being allowed to vote.

I think that a basic knowledge voter qualification test should also include simple questions about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers and associated limited power to lay taxes.
