RE: Should You Have to Pass a Test to Vote?
Having to pass a test to vote just invites indoctrination and if you don't conform to that belief then you don't get a say.
How can that be democratic.?

There are a whole lot of assumptions going on here.
How so?
Also thank you for responding.
What your seeing is a backlash of people who have been forgotten about in the back country of America. The first person to give them a voice would win. Why? Because those who promised all and gave nothing to them have pushed it too far.
Look at the UK!
Benefit was a vote of no confidence more than a calculated choice. A call of desperation for change no matter how damaging in the short term.
You will find the exact same folk on the front lines, in your grocery stores, in your diners and even living next door.
I have strong opinions on politics!
The test hasn't been defined at all. Are you saying that there is absolutely no criteria that you would want for a voter? Zero, none?
That should come under citizenship. So in that sense yes a test must be sat for citizenship then free to vote.
Some people may need education on voting and constituents however restricting their access or taking that right away from said persons is kind of the same as the left hand not wanting to be on the same body as the right hand.
This would create a secular devide and education stricken areas would be left picking up the pieces.
All this because the deep South voted Trump in and the educated people blame the uneducated people for democracy.
