Do we want everyone to vote?
People who don't know what the role of government is, what Congress and the POTUS is supposed to do, who don't know what's in the Constitution, who don't understand the issues or know where the candidates stand on them, do we want them to vote? People who watch the political ads slack jawed and uncritically, then vote accordingly, is it any benefit that they vote?
Personally, I'd just as soon they stay home on election day.
Me too, which includes a bunch of uninformed morons in my area who vote for anyone with an R by their name. Seriously, just about anyone swayed by most of the ads I see in my area at least is almost by definition a political ignoramus, and voting based on some PR hack paid big bucks by political parties to strike a nerve with them.
Doesn't mean I support public policy that intentionally makes it hard for SOME of those morons to exercise their RIGHT to vote.
