    Voting should be like driving; pass a simple test, get the right. Everyone can try, but not everyone will pass.

    First of all, in car-dependent America, damn near everybody does pass regardless of how shitty at real-world driving they are, because the test has been dumbed-down because driving is so “necessary.”

    Second, the difference between driving and voting is that people administering driving tests aren’t highly motivated to fail people based on ideology.
