Perhaps the exam should have included a section on the history of civil rights and voting suppression in the United States.

Ah, yes: if you acknowledge it existed, you fail and can't vote.

That's what you had in mind, right? 'Cause that's what would happen.

No, what I had in mind was an ironic response to someone who didn't know his history, which would have told him why the whole idea of a "voting exam" was a bad one.
