Amendment 15
1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
HOW ABOUT REQUIRING THAT VOTERS POSSESS AT LEAST THE SAME BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE HISTORY AND THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLES OF THE UNITED STATES THAT IS REQUIRED OF IMMIGRANTS WISHING TO BECOME CITIZENS?
AND HOW ABOUT REQUIRING THAT ELIGIBLE VOTERS HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE OF THE CANDIDATES AND ISSUES ON THE BALLOT?
Fat chance, right??
PS: I’d LIKE to take this further – MUCH further – but this place is already too far gone to even get the two listed above.
You could “proxy” your requirements by requiring that the voter have a net tax liability the previous two years.
They used to, but with the complete destruction of decency and standards it was swept out.
Mississippi used to give a short test, one that any 3rd grader could pass without studying, but of course the Federal Government (under LBJ) declared it to be racist and a method to deny blacks the vote.
If it were around now, from what I saw at the polls, there would be quite a few, both black and white, who would have problems passing.
