How do you test for literacy on a national level? Create a multiple choice test? In every language? Or do you start by creating a requirement for knowing written English before you can vote? Do you mandate an essay portion? Who grades that? If you go with Q&A, what kinds of questions do you ask?
Many of those issues were spelled in this thread already. The point is there are some significant logistical hurdles for this idea. Not the least of which is: who do you put in charge of creating this process? Find someone that wouldn't create a "Bush nominates Bill Clinton for the Supreme Court" sized controversy and I'll be surprised/impressed.
More clear?
