Should people have to qualify for the vote in some way?

Kind of a moot point since voting doesn't effect anything anyway.

They should at least be more intelligent than a meth addicted, mentally challenged lemur.

I disagree.  Also depends a lot on which nation. 

But theoretically, who should have the vote?

Probably only wealthy people, if I'm being honest.

So, maybe an IQ or educational minimum test score requirement?

Why?

Wealthy people know what money is really worth, and ultimately, in the grander scheme of things, you would be voting for who has control over the money of your nation, or at least this would be a major aspect of it, so you might as well vote for wealthy people who gained their wealth by means of integrity and honor. Forget their political views, all that stuff can be hashed out later.

What would be the mimimum wealth needed to vote, and how would it be assessed?

You would at least have to be a millionaire.
