12,
but millions of years ago diabetus petus got this election through and was finalised, because his strength was in eating and literacy. But his rein of power from being fat soon wore off and noone would go by anything he said, so in recent times the election has been held again and again. so in actual fact it there were 13 elections.

It is difficult to provide an exact number, as literacy tests were implemented across many states and over several decades. However, literacy tests were used as a discriminatory tactic to prevent African-Americans from voting primarily from the late 19th century until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. This denial of voting rights persisted for multiple elections during this period.
