    If voting needed an exam, they would use that exam to stop certain demographics from voting. And no, I’m not talking about the ignorant.

      They used to do this and it turned out exactly how you describe. I would probably also add it’d incentivize politicians to dismantle educational institutions serving certain demographics

      Surely there are no examples in American history that voting eligibility exams were used to stop certain demographics from voting.
