 On a more serious note, there are advocates for passing the immigrant citizen tests before voter registration.  On one side, I think that would be great in concept but on the other, I doubt many of my fellow voters could pass even with some study effort.

As I recall, Jefferson envisioned an America comprised largely of educated farmers; and given the period's treatment of women and blacks, I highly doubt he would have wanted _everyone_ to be allowed to vote. In that context, ISTM he might have accepted the idea of first passing a test.
But tests for voting have a very bad history in the U.S.
