Which of the following groups cannot vote in the State of Texas?

• A. All of the above
• B. People under 21
• C. Idiots and lunatics
• D. Paupers

Answer: (A)

Voting rights are tied to citizenship, age, and legal status. In Texas history, several groups were barred from voting: those under the voting age, individuals declared by a court to be mentally incompetent, and paupers. Since each of these categories has been disqualified at various times, selecting the option that includes all of them is the best choice. Note that modern law doesn’t bar voting simply for poverty, and the age requirement today is 18 with mental competency rules handled by court determination; the question reflects those historical disqualifications, so the “all of the above” option fits the context.
