Voter eligibility test

Back in September 2006 I wrote this voter eligibility test. I think it’s still valid.

The test should have questions such as...

Q) Is professional wrestling real?

( ) Yes   ( ) No

Q) When did Martin Sheen served as President?

( ) within the past year   ( ) within the past five years   ( ) never

Q) I watch Jerry Springer.

( ) yes   ( ) no

Q) Which Amendment says "Church and States shall be separate"

( ) The First Amendment   ( ) The Fifth Amendment   ( ) none

Q) 9/11 was planned and executed by...

( ) The Jews   ( ) The Bush Administration   ( ) Radical Moslems

Q) Abortion is specifically mentioned in which Amendment?

( ) Fourth   ( ) Third   ( ) none

Q) You actually took the time to find out the stance on the issues of what percent of candidates?

( ) none   ( ) a few   ( ) as many as I could   ( ) all

Q) It's better to vote, even if you don't know who you're voting for, than to not vote at all?

( ) true   ( ) false

Q) On short notice, Presidents can influence international oil prices as well as the timing and location of Hurricanes.

( ) true   ( ) false

(For those who wonder what the right answers are, they are, in order, No, Never, No, None, Radical Moslems, None, either "as many as I could" or "all" would be acceptable,  False, and False.)

...you don't pass the test, you don't get to screw up the country by voting. It would be as simple as that.
