Today I was convinced to support intelligence tests to qualify voters

63. "What questions should be on them?"

I lack the education required to create the test. I think it should be made by people with degrees in psychology and sociology.

How do you tell someone they are too stupid to vote?

I would suggest doing it my mail.

Telling a voter that they are too stupid to go in a voting booth is outright voter supression.

I agree IQ tests can be considered voter suppression, but I think not allowing children or foreigners to vote is also voter suppression. I think the vast majority of us support some voter suppression, we just disagree on which potential voters should be suppressed.

All the intelligence tests in the world is not going to weed out people who are homophobic, racist, or whatever the case may be.

It's bad enough we deny convicted felons who have served their time the right to vote, but to add an intelligence test which is designed to keep people from voting who may not be as smart as you or I is morally offensive.

I agree some bigots will be able to pass an IQ test. I also agree being a convicted felon should not disqualify a person from voting.

I disagree with the morality claim. Morality is a tool to accomplish a goal. If our goal is only to allow everyone to vote, then restrictions on IQ tests, citizenship, age, and criminal records are indeed immoral, but I really doubt that is very many people's goal for government. If our goal is peace, prosperity for the masses, and a well-educated populace, then voting restrictions make sense.
