"Make sure to include questions on things like the age of the Earth and evolution"

Message Replied To ==========

I seriously think voters should be required to take a small test before they

vote. With the computerized voting systems, the machine would pull 10 random questions from a pool of questions. They would be very basic Civics questions that anyone that has an ounce of common sense or education would answer correctly. If the voter could not answer 7 out of 10 of the questions, his/her vote would be tossed.

It's incredible how many people know the names of every pop star yet cannot tell you that President Obama is a Democrat or his stance on major issues. Voting should be seen as a serious responsibility, and if a person does not take the time to educate themselves on the government and how it functions, they should not be allowed to vote.

==============================

Since we're ruling out people for being too ignorant to vote and all.

BTW, according to a Gallup poll last year that would exclude 58% of Republicans.
