    You obviously don’t know the history of voting tests. In the US, tests were designed to be virtually impossible for anyone to pass, but white voters didn’t have to take them, because the rule was you didn’t have to take the test if your grandparents could vote. They were implemented in a racist way.

    You want to trust the government to design and implement tests, that sort of thing is what it could easily lead to, whether you want it or not.

      Yes I’m well aware of Jim Crowe laws. Before you can enact something fair you’re first going to burn down everything you have currently.

      The systems you have right now are a dead end, and there is no way to manage or change that system from the outside. So first it must be destroyed.
