What your system actually does is make it less likely that unorganized people with fringe ideas will vote. If there's an organization promoting a fringe idea, it will offer election test coaching to sympathizers.

On second thought, I didn't say what I meant. What I meant was that your approach will fail to discourage organized people with fringe ideas. They'll form training systems to beat your tests.

Unorganized people with fringe ideas will probably be less able to vote under your system.
