Sorry to get political here, but this whole literacy thing impacts one's thoughts on DEMOCRACY.
As an extremist MAGA Republican, I don't want ignorant, illiterate people voting. The margins of victory in national elections are paper-thin, and our last Presidential election was decided by an army of ignorami, illegally herded together by half a billion dollars in private funds.
This is "democracy"? I don't think so. In fact, I don't think anyone should vote, if (a) registering in advance, (b) getting a free government ID card, and (c) showing up at the polls on Election Day are just too much to handle. Legitimate Absentee Ballot folks excluded, of course.
Leftists consider this viewpoint to be a "threat to 'democracy'," and I can well understand why. If my view prevailed, Democrats would never win another national election, especially if they are successful in naturalizing thirty-plus million illegals.
