Literacy tests as a prerequisite to exercise the franchise are patently unconstitutional.

Thank you. Maybe we should test the law again. How about literacy tests as a prerequisite for holding public office?

Davis v. Schnell, 81 F. Supp. 872 (S.D. Ala. 1949) appears to be brought because the requirement was only aimed toward a particular ethnicity. Is it unconstitutional to require tests before driving? No.
