Right to Vote?

Should there be literacy tests?

I don't think there should be literacy tests. The questions on these tests may be difficult for some people to answer, I even have trouble answer some of them. The questions do not determine what a person may feel about which candidate they are voting for. The person can be voting for the person because they feel that they will benefit them. For example, if a person was mentally disabled and could not take the test but felt that the person they want to vote for is the best, why couldn't the cast a vote? I feel that the literacy tests are wrong and prejudice to people.

Tom Tancredo feels that we should reinstate literacy tests. He wants to reinstate them for specifically voters that "cannot spell the word vote or say it in English." Whether they are illetarate or cannot speak English, everyone has the right to vote. Voting is based on opinions of the people, and by taking the literacy tests it is stop people from giving there opinion and having a say in government. This is not right, and is not fair to the people.
