There should be a test before you are allowed to vote. It certainly is as serious an activity as driving or braiding hair. The accumulated statistics on the test results will shock you.
As the saying goes:
“They walk among us”.
Can You be Trusted to Vote Intelligently???
This is a terrific and incredibly easy 11-question test. And it shows results in a number of ways. It clearly indicates that the majority of Americans don't have a clue about what's going on in the world. No wonder our politicians take such advantage of us. It's astonishing that so many people got less than half right. These results say that 80% of the (voting) public doesn't have a clue, and that's pretty scary.
There are no tricks here - just a simple test to see if you are current on your information. This is quite good and the results are shocking.
I believe it was Winston Churchill who opined that " . . . the biggest argument against democracy is a 5-minute conversation with the average voter . . ."
Test your knowledge with 11 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did!
