RE: Should the Government Institute Voter Tests?
While I do agree that some kind of increase in complexity is needed in the current election systems, I don't think such a solution could effectively solve the problems you are mentioning. The ability to memorize the correct answer to some simple questions is not a good indicator of intelligence, judgment or analytical skills.
I agree but its at least a small barrier that shows that if you are the slightest bit dedicated you can vote.
It's not a bad starting point, yeah. It would certainly help.
It's interesting to me that you use the word "dedication" here. Aren't the people who are not dedicated to democracy simply not voting in the first place?
