From the late 1890s through the mid-1960s, African-American citizens in the Deep South were systematically and egregiously denied their voting rights through the administration of so-called "literacy tests."
....
One should not be required to obtain a license or pass a government-administered test to exercise any constitutionally-protected civil right. If the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s taught us anything, it is that all civil rights are sacred, one is no less important than another, and all of them are worth defending because a threat to one puts all rights in peril.
Like Sebastian says:
If he were proposing this for voting he’d be banished from town. I guess in Congressman Rush’s world, some rights are more equal than others.Yep.

Judging by the results of the last few elections, it may be necessary to bring back election test for everyone, however not just blacks. People in this day and age are not smart enough to vote.
