Why shouldn’t the uninformed vote? Do you think they will vote for the wrong person? Or will they vote for the wrong reason? Who are you to say? The whole OP smacks of exclusionary elitism, designed to marginalize citizens, and render their views less important than “smart people”. I believe the hidden message is a fear that uninformed voters lack the capacity to follow the convoluted logic that some candidates use to support their platforms, and will just vote their pocketbooks. Am I better off than I was last election? Has the party in power been acting in my interests? I think the answers to those questions terrify some politicians, and thus, they would like to invite simpletons like that to stay home on election day.
