All this talk is interesting and futile; there won't be any restrictions on voting, as desirable as it may be to some of us here.
Me, I'd not do a test of the names of current office holders or restrict the voting rolls to landowners, but rather make the only eligible voters taxpayers (and I don't mean gasoline tax or sales tax). Those with an actual financial stake in the outcome--much like shareholders in a corporation. But even that is fraught with problems--those retired may still care about their country/state/locality, and those ineligible because they aren't earning enough money to pay taxes would remove a disproportional share of minorites.
It's still interesting to dream of ways to make a good system better.
