x(10-1) = 9.9999... - x

9x = 9 (since x = 0.999...)
x = 1 = 0.99999

If only the gov't made voters take a test to see how well they understood the issues...that'd be nice. Keep all the retards away from the polls.

Tests measure education more than intelligence. What you do by restricting the less educated is throw the balance of democracy even further to the already overpowering upper class.
