Should they test people to name several congressmen/women before allowing them to vote?

Answer 1

I just answered a question for a lady who took the test, and she pointed out that they were asked the names of the senators from her state. That seems fair. If the people who do the test preparation courses know that is included, and they certainly should, they will be sure you have this. And after all, there are only two senators. They might also ask which congressional representative is representing your district, but that would be different at each test site, and a person who lives across a border would mess up the scoring. So that would be hard to do for practical reasons.

I think if you are learning how to be an American, knowing which people in Washington DC are responsible for the representation you will vote on, seems only fair.

But this is for newly arrived citizens. People who are born here are already citizens, and can vote even if they cannot read. That was long since decided in the Supreme Court, after southern states tried to use it as a way to keep Negroes (as they were called then) from voting; don't give them an education, and they won't be eligible to vote, snickered the Old Boys. That didn't cut any ice with the Supreme Court.

Answer 2

No. They should be allowed to vote even if they only focus on one candidate.
