Rather than voter identification, I propose a civics test be given when entering the voting booth ("Messing with voting rights in Texas," Oct. 20). If you don't answer four out of five questions correctly, the voting machine is turned off.
They could be easy questions like, who is vice president or who is Speaker of the House or who is Secretary of State or which constitutional amendment covers gun ownership. Since Maryland is best in the U.S. in public education, we should have 100 percent of voters able to cast a ballot.
