1. Should willfully ignorant people be allowed to vote?
2. Or should voter be required to document that they have done a reasonable effort at researching candidates and issues to obtain a voter I.D.?
3. Should equal use of both Democrat and Republican news sources be part of the definition of reasonable effort?
Should willfully ignorant people be allowed to vote? Or should voter be required to document that they have done a reasonable effort at researching candidates and issues to obtain a voter I.D.? Should equal use of both Democrat and Republican news sources be part of the definition of reasonable effort? Should people who are unemployed have to spend more time on research than the employed, to qualify as a reasonable effort? with each person's search documentation attached to their identity and subject to a challenge, and the way they voted remaining anonymous? Should we make it easier to obtain voter I.D. than it presently is, by eliminating proof of current residence as a requirement, which poses an unnecessary hardship on the poor and minorities?
Most voters are ignorant of who they are voting for, especially as they move down the ticket. Like who really knows the judge or state senator for whom they are casting a ballot.
No, and quite frankly, being an 18 year old American shouldn't be the only qualifier. Everyone registering to vote should have to pass a competency test in order to receive a valid voter registration card.Should willfully ignorant people be allowed to vote?

I have found that the willfully ignorant are often informed and would pass any test given to determine if they are informed. This is because there isn’t an actual, real, deterministic relationship between ignorant and informed. The most informed can be the most ignorant. A test that would be neat, but can’t be done, would be to test if the voter understood what will happen if he is a member of the majority in the vote. But that test can't be given for obvious reasons.Should willfully ignorant people be allowed to vote?

People should have to take a test to vote, like that for citizenship.

You must know that this cannot work....I strongly support weighting votes based on the knowledge of the voter. IMO, it's embarrassing that we use a system where the vote of a political genius counts the same as someone who votes based solely on the skin colors of the candidates.
