I may be wrong, but I think I might have seen or heard some news once within the last 6 or 7 years about an attempt to ensure that the people voting actually had some knowledge about the laws they were voting for or against, (State level, possibly in CA), and also about the elected officials they were voting for or against, State and Federal.
Of course, the far Left's survival depends on the 'illiterati's' votes, so they called this attempt at improving our country 'Unsconstitutional' and not much was mentioned afterwards, as far as I can remember.
Now, I'm thinking this happened sometime around 2001 or 2002. Those years being very busy for me with the War and my introduction back into Society, so I didn't put too much attention to this. But I'm very interested to learn what has become of this effort and who is pushing for this reform if it in fact still is.
Any help would be nice, thanks in advance.
