So back to only educated people or people owning property again; are we proposing education testing before casting a vote? Besides, it's not like smart people don't have biases.

That does not seem like an alternative most people -even educated or above median IQ would favor.

I'm curious, have there been any known attempts to condition the right to vote on passing some kind of IQ, education, or rational thinking test? If so, how did they work out?

Thanks, that's some useful history to know. Any data points from other countries?
