The U.S. Election Assistance Commission is said to be considering a proposal that would require voters to pass a simple test of their ability to distinguish conspiratorial fiction from fact-based historical data when choosing a candidate. According to political experts, such a test, which would reduce the Sanders movement by as much as two-thirds while completely wiping out the Trump vote, would by default assure Hillary Clinton of the most lopsided presidential election win in history this November.

Sources inside the RNC call the proposed test grossly unfair, comparing it with earlier attempts by their own party to restrict the voting rights of developmentally disabled citizens, but the group responsible for the test insists that the questions are not I.Q sensitive and are specifically designed to disqualify only the willfully ignorant.
