[QUOTE=nuu faaola;2802630]Uninformed voters are a fact of life in Democracy.

I see no difference, frankly, between some know-nothing college kid voting for the guy because their friends are than the know-nothing churchgoers who got wrapped up in a similar phenomenon with Bush, or the know-nothings at McCain's rallies who declare that Obama is an Arab or terrorist. Should they be voting?

If you believe in Democracy, you have to believe that everyone has a right to vote.

It's up to the campaigns to persuade low-information voters as well as those who do their homework.[/QUOTE]

I'm not disputing the [B]right [/B]to vote. But should someone ever say, "You know what? I don't know enough about these guys to make an informed decision. I'm not going to vote."
