We already have a basic civics test for voting. It's called, "Being an American Citizen". Even grossly uninformed voters, unawares of our voting laws and civil rights laws, such as yourself, can vote.

I know all of this, although your description is a little bit flawed to say "that EXACT type of test". Just because something was deemed to be illegal doesn't mean it wasn't the right thing to do.
Foreigners looking to become citizens (with the right to vote) need to pass such a test, why is simply being born here a pass on learning something?
