Agreed, Not that this would happen, but the way things are going maybe they should be asked 5 questions on the issues before they can vote and if they get them wrong then no votes.
The Dems would never gain power across this country
Events in Ferguson definitely show a severe need for compulsory remedial civics courses for a sizable chunk of the American population.
Even more than that, every voter should be required to take a simple civics test with the most obvious of answers. A fair percentage would always fail anyway. They should not be given voting rights until they pass another test. Also, there is not a valid reason in the world that should keep us from implementing Voter ID.
The voting system needs a complete overhaul, but it will never happen because it is presently skewed toward the lowest in intelligence....aka Democrats.
"If it were probable that every man would give his vote freely, and without influence of any kind, then, upon the true theory and genuine principles of liberty, every member of the community, however poor, should have a vote… But since that can hardly be expected, in persons of indigent fortunes, or such as are under the immediate dominion of others, all popular states have been obliged to establish certain qualifications, whereby, some who are suspected to have no will of their own, are excluded from voting; in order to set other individuals, whose wills may be supposed independent, more thoroughly upon a level with each other." - Alexander Hamilton
