Does the video show an average intellect, politically informed, rational thinking voter?

Should such people be trusted to make rational decisions that can detrimentally affect millions of people?

Should there be a requirement proving a person's minimum level of understanding and ability to make rational decisions before allowing someone the voting privilege ?

    Aaron Clarey explained it well (the decline of America). You may be smart. But when it comes to the rest of the people voting you're really outnumbered by stupid people. Truth...

    Shakes head... must be the desired product of the public education system. Let's face it, the question was way too hard for her to process. Maybe she should have been handed a globe and asked where the USA is located. Do you think she could find it if it was circled and had big arrows pointing at it?

    If you have Vaseline coated teeth, you forfeit the right to vote.
