Voting Too Important for the Uninformed to Vote
I agree with this article 100%.
Most citizens have the right to vote, but not everyone should exercise that right. Voting is too important to be thrust into the hands of the uninformed.
No rational person would suggest that anyone with some time on his hands should wander through a courthouse, stopping into courtrooms at random and casting a jury vote. “If you haven’t heard all of the evidence you shouldn’t be voting on something that can affect someone else’s life or liberty” most folks would say, and they would be right.
The same goes for voting.
Consider the case of two citizens, one who studies the candidates and issues, and one who doesn’t but goes to the polls anyway.
The random votes of one cancel out the wise ones of the other.
Is good government more likely because both citizens go to the polls, or would we be better off if only the informed citizen voted?
Low voter turnout is not a problem.
