    Default What is wrong with literacy tests for voting.?

    They clearly do NOT violate the constitution though they do violate The Voting Rights Act of 1965. That is just a law and can be changed by congress at any time.

    It seems like common sense to insist voters be literate.

    People who say literacy tests are RACIST need to ask themselves - Do you really want to admit blacks are illiterate? Nearly all blacks are of course, but do you want to admit it?

    THE BIG LIE - Blacks and whites are different physically but identical mentally!

    Well for starters it would exclude dumbass Republicans from voting for Evangelical morons. Where the fuck would that leave democracy in America ?

    Because then people who can't read would be disenfranchised.

    That's how it should be . Why should illiterate people be voting.?

    BTW- many states ban felons from voting. That makes even less sense/ THINK

    Libs loves stupid people. They're the easiest to manipulate. Stupid people vote for free stuff because they're too stupid to understand they'll pay a high price for in terms of both taxes and oppression. Stupid people create 3rd-world countries.
    Ape lives matter. Stop putting them in zoos. Boycott businesses that don't hire apes.

    Then answered all the Jews, and said, Jesus' blood be on us, and on our children. So be it.
    Jews want to turn America into an atheistic, amoral, socialist farmyard.

    You don't have to know how to read in order to learn about candidates and their positions. People read less now than ever and it's not because they're illiterate.

    And? If they can't read, that gives you lefties more opportunities to lie to people and tell them what they're unable to find out for themselves.

    How are there any Americans who cannot read? Has our left controlled educational establishment failed us that badly?

    Our schools are a joke but that is not the problem. Most blacks and hispanic injuns have IQs under 75 and cannot be taught to read no matter what. If a dog lived a thousand years and we spent 8 hours a day trying to teach it to read, we would fail.

    Take your own advice.
    I worked for one who couldn't read when I was in HS. He owned a lawncare business and retired early and moved to Florida.
    I also worked with one in a fabrication shop who couldn't read, but he could read a tape measure. He ran a metal shear most of his working life and owned 3 properties and a cabin.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    You missed my point.

    Those I mentioned are long dead. Both their wives did all the financial aspects. Neither was afraid of hard work, I'll say that.
