    It would be specific to the election.

    Okay, Presidential Election 2016.

    What questions would be asked, specifically? And what are the correct answers to these questions?

    Questions would be asked to ensure people who voted were interested in the vote. Not tossing a dart at the board.

    In any case, I find it astounding that so many here are fans of the representative system.

    How long will it take for you guys to realize that your vote doesn't matter? The system doesn't care about you, and neither does your representative, unless you are wealthy and able to make significant campaign donations. Even then they might not listen - you'll have to play for the right team.

    The only possible way you will EVER return the United States back to its Constitutional roots is if you demand that people be given a direct say in how they are ruled. It simply will not happen otherwise.

    What questions?

    If they weren't interested in voting, they'd stay home, like a significant number already do.
