A voting test. To keep people from voting with "feelings in my bones" instead of knowledge about things.

A voting test would just become voter suppression and electoral tampering. Even if it was implemented in good faith (doubt), it would still be full of implicit biases from whoever made it

And even if you kept it about really basic civil questions, that would disenfranchise people who had terrible educations or childhood situations - a demographic with a big overlap with poverty and race etc
