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.

Addendum to number 1: They should also know who the pres./veep is at the time of the presidential elections, if different from either of the major party tickets.
IE, if Smith/Johnson is finishing their term, and Johnson is running with Jones, they must still kinow that Smith is still the pres.
