Shouldn't you p a test before voting?

...So we are going to spend probably millions (knowing the gov't) to prepare this test so people can take it and then vote? It would completely defeat, not only the democratic process, but any incentive for people to vote because, 1, who has time to take a test? 2, who is going to support paying for it? And 3, some won't p it. People should get informed because they want to be...not because they have to. It is a democracy, you know...and at the age of 18, you are allowed to vote. Nothing should be able to take that away.
