I am adamantly in favor of literacy tests. There is absolutely nothing wrong with requiring voters to posses a minimal ability to read and write at a high school graduate level. This is not, I must add, what occurred in the Old South. The white racists were not even slightly interested in testing for literacy. It was merely a scam job to prevent blacks from voting. Let’s have real literacy testing!
