Tom Tancredo this weekend was the keynote speaker at the Tea Party convention. He suggested that we should reinstate literacy for voters, especially for voters who "cannot spell the word vote or say it in English" and who elected "Barack Hussein Obama." Do you believe that Tancredo seriously wanted to return to the voter literacy
tests that many states in the South used to discriminate against black voters and prevent them from voting. Should there be literacy tests for the right to vote in America? Or does democracy mean "one person, one vote"?
Do research online about this incident. Put in the keywords that will get you information for an "informed" blog entry.
THEN:
Take this Alabama State Literacy test. Would you be able to vote?
