As long as they are informed voters, that is one thing -- IMO what others
were pointing out is that it is not a bad thing when those who are totally
clueless are not voting. i.e., do you really want someone who doesn't know
who the current sitting vice president is to vote?


I'm convinced that when tests for voter qualifications were thrown out
because they were being misused, it was a case of throwing out the baby
with the bath water.

It's been said that it's not who votes, it's who counts the votes.
That's probably true, but with modern marketing techniques, it's more
who pays for the votes- i.e. the big multi-national corporations and
other wealthy special interest groups. Most of us can't afford to
contribute enough to influence the results.

And the less educated the voters, the better the marketing techniques
work. So we'll continue to see every effort made to register the easily
influenced.
