Vote eligibility shenanigans

Quote:
Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich seems nostalgic for the good old Jim Crow poll tax days: he has called for people to have to pass an American historical literacy test before they can vote.


Educating voters is a good idea, using something/anything as a barrier to keep people from voting is outright unconstitutional.

Quote:
conservative governors and legislators, working with templates produced by the American Legislative Exchange Council (Alec), have pushed through laws to cut the number of voting days, impede groups registering new voters, demand proof of citizenship and otherwise make it more difficult to cast a ballot.
