No religious test applies here, not even remotely. The religious test would be if a candidate were prevented from running or serving if elected. The voter is free to apply any and all criteria to the process of determining whom to vote for.

This FACT is totally lost on the talking heads.

What Article 6 of the constitution essentially says is a Muslim can run for public office and not face constitutional scrutiny over his religion (public scrutiny is another matter).

Carson is referring to PUBLIC SCRUTINY, not the constitutional test.
