They did a really good job on ads. Don’t look up how much they spent just on fooling the population.

    Did you include that quote / link as an example of states that have run successful voting test programs?

    That’s really great that they “[allegedly] did not begin as a racial tool.” How did it go for those states?

    If you think there wasn’t a shitload of racism and voter suppression in the North, then I guess maybe you shouldn’t be able to vote. Or am I misunderstanding your argument?

      As I said repeatedly, in not envisioning a copy of the extremely flawed system that was used previously. I was simply sharing my thoughts that a test would probably be a better alternative to the reeducation camps the poster I was originally responding to suggested, I’m not campaigning or even seriously suggesting we implement a test.

      And apparently you are misunderstanding my argument in that I said a specific set of very easy questions a fifth grader could answer.

      I would’ve been happy to continue this discussion, but your attitude is argumentative and off-putting so I’ll spend my time elsewhere.

      Hope you have a lovely day anyways though!
