It is 100% used as a weapon to disenfranchise voters.
I do however believe that it should be used on CANDIDATES.

Who gets to design the test, though?

Me.

You have my vote, but only if you pass MY OWN candidate tester test.

That is the one fear, especially considering... a now controlling amount of politicians can't accept basic facts... so we'd see questions like "is climate change real", "how old is the earth".
-
The test will ask how old the Earth is. Any answer over 6000 years or so will be marked false.

While the idea of being required to pass a test to be eligible is bad for the reasons others have given, I do like the idea of having to take a test in order to run. No pass/fail, but the results are made public so we know who we're voting for. Make it a random compilation pulled from the state testing from each state, or something. With a large enough data set, we should be able to prevent people gaming the system.
