I don’t remember the passage in the Constitution where it states that a test score of 100% on any test being required as a qualification to vote. Perhaps you could point that passage out to me.

Oh, ain't ya so clever!

There isn’t any passage in the Constitution about who should vote. Period.

It’s up to the states.

I’m simply stating that there SHOULD be a test of some kind. Didn’t say anything about “100%”, so don’t put that on me. People should at least be able to identify some of the people running for office on their own, without prompters. Maybe indicate they actually have a clue about what is going on in the world, or at least their town.

Glad to point it out to you. It's right there at the beginning of Article I (Senate was not chosen directly by voters at that time, and neither was President):

The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.

That States decide, because they decide the method of choosing voters (electors) for the State Legislature. If they want a literacy test, that's what the Constitution grants.

Glad I could be of help.
