1. they can name all 50 states on a U.S. map
2. they can name at least 10 presidents
3. must have a valid picture i.d. (provided for free, of course)
would you support this set of qualifiers or would it somehow be racist?

I am surprised there wasn't a "skin pigmentation test" suggested.

What about the other 7 muslim zeroBOWma visited, PLUS the other 3 he has to go!! That makes 60 states.
But the MAIN THING THAT SHOULD BE REQUIRED IN AMERICA TO VOTE IS A PICTURE ID!!

Oh, I thought this about tests to vote not tests to decided who to vote for. I'm not sure your percentage is right, but blacks did definitely vote in extremely high numbers for him and I suspect much of that was about skin color. We used to see that in Detroit, too, but in this past mayoral election they bucked the trend.

You would lose a hugh chunk of the vote but it would be racist to expect a certain group to be able to meet such a "high" standard.

Detroit doesn't. Heard he's making a push to get out now. Prison hasn't been good to him apparently.

I think a fairly hard civics test would be a good thing to reqire for people to vote unfortunately it is not Constitutional.

But z, if you implement an IQ test, most of the South won't be able to vote.

The only requirement to vote should be valid proof of citizenship and address. I would go further and eliminate early voting and absentee ballots in anything other than provable extreme cases.

Maybe what we should do is you have to give a description of the position the candidate you are voting for is wanting to fill. Any job you can't describe in your own words will invalidate your vote for that position.

How about one vote per tax dollar paid. Local, state, federal levels. We've had enough of people voting themselves a share of other people's paychecks, maybe it's time to let those pulling the wagon to choose its course.

The rich are getting richer. The poor are getting richer. It's the middle class paying for all of it.

Isn't that odd. The Democrats are the party of the very rich and the very poor and both attack the middle class.

For some reason I can't see a box to check off, but put me down as a NO. NO test should be required. As dumb as some Americans can be, unless one has been convicted of a serious crime, then voting is an American RIGHT along with a privilege. I don't have a problem with an ID card, providing it is free & enough time is given to obtain one. And I suggest it be several years.

And any dealings on a governmental level, whether state or federal should be written in English.
