Ballots should start with a basic intelligence test that determines whether the ballot should be counted.

Imagine how the Left would react to that.

You know, we once had tests to winnow out the unqualified voters in the South. They were called literacy tests. You had to prove you could understand parts of the U.S. Constitution before you could vote. But you know what happened to them.

No one should be allowed to vote unless they can pass the American Civic Literacy Test with at least an 85% score.
That alone would eliminate 99% of the general population and especially lawyers and professional politicians.
Go take the test at American Civic Literacy Test.com. See how you do on it.
I am just a stupid High School graduate with a little bit of community college and I aced it. I didn’t think it was that hard, but it does take some thought and basic knowledge.
Read the statistics that they show for university graduates, politicians, etc.
