    Public education doesnt notably make people better voters and it doenst really make them smarter. Smart people vote for a variety of things for a variety of reasons.

    More people that are ignorant voting is a bad thing, it will lead to bad policies and bad politicians (see our current government). How is this not an obvious result?

      You really take your education for granted. Being able to read and do math are pretty important.

      How do we determine who is informed? Have them take a test? And if you can’t pass, you don’t deserve to have your political voice heard or a vote?
