    a similar law was used in the old south during the early 60s i believe - they required voters to pass a literacy test before they could be registered. this in itself is fair enough, but segregationists pushed the law through so that the vast majority of blacks would not be able to register to vote. so, a law that taken by itself is fair, but in its application is going to be highly racist...
