There is already plenty enough built-in momentum to not properly educate the public - "if we fuck up they don't get to vote" is some next level shit.

Just curve the test so that 80% pass.

At face value, that means 20% of the people (in a "democracy") will be unable to vote.

Basically you are saying that some people will not have the ability to decide who will govern them.

I just think it would be gamed somehow, like the games played with gerrymandering.

Are you ok with children not voting? That right there is ~20% of the population.
