This is true, but I've seen Vance speak, he has zero charisma. I feel like you need some amount of charisma to be a bullshit artist and have people not see straight through you. I mean people with any semblance of intelligence will see through you no matter what, but votes aren't weighted on intelligence.
I've been saying for years that votes should be weighted on IQ. 1 vote for 100IQ points, 1.2 votes for 120IQ. If people literally rip up their children's homework because they are learning about pronouns (the grammatical concept) then they should be considered mentally unfit to vote
edit: sub-100 IQ people keep downvoting :)
Yeah as others have mentioned, this is a surefire way to find corruption in new an exciting ways.
How do you determine IQ?
No matter how you answer this question you open yourself up to different methods of corruption, as well as coincidental prejudice.
Is your test based on things only taught in college? Boom! now poor people cant vote.
Is your test based on common knowledge about the world? Boom, people outside of your bubble cant vote.
Also who runs the tests? Who oversees the questions asked? How do you make testing accessible for people with physical impairments? How do you ensure a proper testing environment? Each and every step has a way to inject corruption, and the kind of corruption that grows, since once you start limiting the voting pool u can limit it in a way that allows your brand of corruption to grow.
Its unfortunately not feasible.
IQ is inaccurate at best, racist at worst. Bad take.
Fair, I wish there was a way to judge one's general grasp on reality accurately.
