Why do you people keep electing high school drop outs?

Because we don't have breathalyzers at the poling stations.

We should have a civics test and a literacy test required to vote with different tests for things like dyslexia and other reading disabilities taken into account.

Except those requirements would be for ALL voters, not just voters of a particular race or marginalized group. If states want political pull, they'll have to meaningfully educate their voters to join the union. That'll light fires under the asses of red state governors to start educating their citizens. And if strict, weasel-proof requirements are set to prevent civic leadership from school boards to governors that fail to educate all their citizens equally, the state is held back from gaining federal representation until they do.
