"Ratings: Would you recommend this story?"
Yes, but I wouldn't recommend the world it lives in.
They ask all the wrong questions, y'know?

"We can't pass a law to force them to read the paper. But neither of
these people ought to force their fellow citizens to suffer the
consequences of their being so uninformed. Voting should be a
privilege earned by an intellectually engaged citizen, not a right
given to any adult with a pulse."
We had this discussion back in the sixties. Back when most southern
states had "literacy tests" to keep Negroes from voting.

I thought we should have every man and women getting 100 votes.
Then you'd take the voter test.
This would give a good cross section of things a voter should know.
Such as the national debt is $7 trillion dollars, that there is no evidnce
that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11, that the 9/11 commision
said 9/11 was avoidable.
A fair test drawn from a pool of good questions anybody listening
to decent news would know.
Your test score would tell how many of potentially 100
votes you get counted on your ballot. If you get 90%
of the questions right, you get 90 votes.
75%, 75 votes. Below 50%, you don't get counted at all.
Vote tests would be on Wednesdays at 8:00 in the morning, all
businesses would legally be required to allow you to take time off to
test.
It would be made a bit inconvenient to cull those
who aren't serious.
From time to time, special tests would be available to those
who want to raise their scores, for example after watching all three
presidential debates, you could be tested, not only on what is said, but
what major lies were debunked by the press later.
