    There is no such thing as a “low information” voter. Someone who votes because Mars in retrograde is just as legitimate as the vote cast by the head of the dep. of Political Science. The idea that some votes are more legitimate or should count more (or at all), is authoritarianism and anti-democracy.

      Yeah, we know that their low information vote counts just as much as someone that is informed.

      It doesn’t mean that they don’t exist, though. I’m running across low info voters all the time IRL.
