I think voters should have to read the HC Law enacted by Obama and SB744.

If you take the meaning of “gain” loosely, we “gain” the realization that ANY primate can be elected pResident.

The result of fools being allowed to vote is clearly evident: Obama.

Tom Tancredo was right when he spoke at the 2010 Tea Party Convention in Nashville about the need for a literacy test. Personally, I'm more hard line than Tancredo, favoring voting only for military members and property owners. A careful reading of the intent of the Founding Fathers reveals that the voting free-for-all that we have now is just plain wrong.

Some of the questions were unfair. Check # 29. What if one was dyslexic? A valid ID seems like childs’ play.

‘I wonder what we gain by having illiterate people vote.’

That’s hard to say. But they can give expert testimony in murder cases.
