Thanks will--that's probably what I'm remembering. I'm sorry, but I think it'd be a good idea to have some sort of a test to at the least find out if people can at read and follow directions. Must be a better way then what we're doing. Stupidity is color blind.

Of course, I do think that there should be a test before you can vote. The voter would have to answer basic questions, for example:

1)They absolutely must know the names of the presidential/ vice presidential candidate from both parties during a presidential year or just the names of the president/veep during a midterm.

2) They must know the names of both of their senators and their representative.

3) Once their ballot is in, their vote is final. No complaining that they were confused.

Failure to know ANY from number 1 or 2 would disqualify them from voting.
