As much as such a law would be too funny in that it would probably prevent the Buffoonanator from being able to vote, I can't sacrifice principle for comedy. I'm a democrat (as well as a Democrat) who believes that there should be very limited restrictions on voting. The only ones I am in favor of are:
proving that you are a citizen when you register the first time in your state, either through a birth certificate or naturalization papers or drivers license; if you proved it once, you don't have to keep proving it again and again. It's the 21st century ... we have computers to keep track of voters.
proving that you live in your voting district when you register for the first time in that voting district through a driver's license, utility bill, etc. Again, in the 21st century, there's no need to pretend that moving from one neighborhood to another or across a municipal boundary requires all new proof that you're a citizen over the age of 18.
excluding individuals convicted of crimes and currently incarcerated or on parole. People who have served their time should have their voting rights restored, no matter the seriousness of their crime.
No not a typo. Voter restriction was even happening well after they realized the 14th amendment didn't give women any right to vote or use any special bathroom.... the 19th amendment had to be passed.
Are employers going to give their employees paid time off for this quiz? Or should we expect people to take it on their own time?
Conservatives. If people who work McJobs or people who don't have easy transportation to the testing facility or people who grew up in crappy school districts are kept from voting, well - that's a feature, not a bug. They'd vote the wrong way anyway.

Why can't it be online and accessible year-round? And a one-time thing.
Come on, this is the 21st century here...what's the hold up with having government adopt technology?
