        I'm starting to think that to register to vote you should have to pass the same citizenship test immigrants do

        Free education, Healthcare and raising wages for the poor is how you fix it. Not disenfranchising the uninformed.

        I've been mulling an idea to require HS students pass the citizenship test as a prerequisite for graduation. Might help.
