The more you know eh?

That’s super troubling, especially this bit from the wiki article

The Supreme Court then upheld the ban as constitutional in Oregon v. Mitchell (1970), but just for federal elections.

So it sounds like we could return to literacy tests at a state or local level but I’ve never heard of that happening, so there must be separate state level bans on that practice or something. Would have to look into it to form an opinion.
