If I were in charge, I would remove the voting floor and require everyone to take a voting competency test to earn their right to vote, and it has to be renewed every ten years after the first successful pass, then every five years after the age of 60. The test would be entirely written responses (no multiple choice) requiring you to explain what certain policies mean, objectively, and a section covering prominent current figures in local and federal politics. Certain sections would have more score leniency than others and the entire thing would have to be filled in without showing an immature level of bias against other parties (calling them names etc. (Not because calling them names in your free time is bad but because you should be able to grow tf up long enough to take an exam without blowing up about a group of people you hate))
For people with diagnosed cognitive or learning disabilities, the scoring would be different and they would be allowed an assistant from wherever the test is conducted to answer questions that don't outright give them the answers. For them, a more basic competency would allow them to pass, since they know what they believe but may struggle with specifics like terminology or articulation in written responses.
Sorry for the tangent, I just had the idea and kept writing - you know how it is
