Faux "news," Ann Coulter and "Fox and Friends" advocate for voter "literacy tests."

[Archae]

They don't realize that tests like those would cut the numbers of republican voters.

BTW, don't forget this is the same Ann Coulter who advocated outlawing voting by women.
(And who committed voter fraud herself...)

Fox News Asks If It's "Time To Revisit" Voter Literacy Test Requirements

Ann Coulter: "I Just Think It Should Be... A Little More Difficult To Vote. There Is Nothing Unconstitutional About Literacy Tests."

1. My buddy Nomi rocked it IMHO. nt

2. Maybe if the tests included questions like:

"Barack Obama was born in...

A. Kenya
B. Hawaii
C. Indonesia
D. Vulcan

3. The opening to Selma showed how these literacy tests worked

One presumes the tests would be run differently in heavily conservatives areas and in heavily liberal areas. Given how many African American's are thrown off the voting rolls "in error," it's not hard to extrapolate how this would play out.

4. I saw that clip, and a woman who went through that.

It was just another racist stunt to keep blacks from voting.

Whites were asked easy questions, blacks, very difficult ones.

5. Lol, they go after their own?

And "the fox's", themselves...ought to be careful what they wish for, lest they are put in the "Too Stupid To Vote" line, eh?

[Orsino]

6. They aren't really calling for literacy tests, though.

This is simply a dog-whistle offensive intended to accelerate voter suppression before 2016.

7. Sheesh, Annie girl. That would knock out the entire Tea Party.

[stevenleser]

9. Which is why they might joke about it to needle us Democrats but would never follow through.

[world wide wally]

8. Would this disqualify Louis Ghomert from running again?

Or don't the candidates have to pass the test?

[jwirr]

14. Now there is a good suggestion. I suggest that every candidate for office should have to take the

same test that immigrants do for citizenship.

10. Faux better watch out

They all might fail the test!!

11. So, they want to change The Constitution?

[hollysmom]

12. number one disqualification - too much fiction - must not watch FOX gnus

[hughee99]

13. Given that I'm constantly hearing how uneducated the republican voters are,

this should benefit Democrats, right?

[MillennialDem]

15. Sure, just make it science and math questions. Cons will flunk.
