But the law says that those people also enjoy the franchise and that it would be illegal to exclude them by setting up voting in such a way that they do not vote. There are no IQ or interest tests required. Nor are reading tests required anymore, thank God.

It is not unreasonable to expect a citizen to take the time to vote, at the
most, once per year. Going to the polling place or requesting an absentee
ballot at least takes a little thought and consideration, and it generally
does not take any longer than a trip to the grocery store. The non-voter
either doesn't care or doesn't know enough to cast a ballot, and those are
not the people I want selecting the political leaders. What will the next
suggestion be: Minneapolis gives everyone who shows up a $10 bill?
