I think the following is a good idea, regardless of the age of the voter.......
Each person must pass a 10 question quiz (7 out of 10) comprised of questions similar to these....
1. Name the governor of your state
2. Name 1 of your state's current Senators
3. Name 3 sitting Supreme Court Justices
4. Name 3 countries that sit on the UN security council
5. Name the current Secretary of State
etc...etc...
Randomly choose 10 question from a bank of 100 or so. Then lower the voting age to 16. Votes only count if you qualify.
