If there are people who want to really openly discuss voting in our representative republic, then they need to consider all alternatives. I propose there is historical precedent and constitutional intent from our founders that an educated public is needed to vote. Literacy tests should be required as a precondition to any method of voting. Yeah, I know some of you will think I’m a flaming liberal for not requiring real property ownership as a precondition, but that’s the way I roll in the 21st century. 😂

Not only literacy tests but also history and civics tests. If a citizen doesn’t know about American History and a basic understanding of how our government works they don’t deserve to vote.
