‘Hell No’: Stephen A. Smith Rips Ramaswamy’s Proposal to Require Young Adults to Pass a Test to Vote – By Michael Luciano (Mediaite) / Sept 1, 2023
Stephen A. Smith is not a fan of Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s proposal to require younger Americans to take a civics test before exercising their right to vote.
“We want to restore civic duty in the mindset of the next generation of Americans,” Ramaswamy said in May. “And how we want to do it is to say that if you want to vote as an 18-year-old — between the ages of 18 to 25 — you need to either do your civic duty through service to the country… or else you have to pass the same civics test that an immigrant has to pass in order to become a naturalized citizen who can vote in this country.”
Smith appeared on Friday’s edition of CNN Primetime, where host Abby Phillip asked for his reaction.
“Is that fair?” she asked.
