I think poll taxes and literacy/competancy tests should be illegal nationwide. They both disenfranchise millions of voters by making access to voting difficult.

On Poll taxes - So, for some reason you think the wealthy need MORE control over the political process?

And as far as a competancy test, the people deserve exactly the government they get. If people are ill-informed about politics, how about we treat the disease instead of the symptom and figure out why people are so ill-informed and generally put off by the political process, and fix that.

We should make it as easy and natural for everyone to become as involved as possible in the political process.
