Issue a nation wide knowledge 'test' on how the government works.

In the United States, There tends to be an increasing amount of illiterate voters. A 'test' should be mandatory, just like a driving test. People should know why they are voting for a candidate, voting for a certain candidate should not be based on favoritism, which would include sharing similar qualities or beliefs. This test would ensure that there are literate voters that know the current issues and have ideas on how they should be solved.
