Do the Wrong People Vote? Yeah

I while back I was having a conversation with a woman about voting. She became very apologetic when she said "I know I should vote but I just don't know what I'd be voting for."

Being Mr. Politics, I think she expected me to blast her for not voting. Instead, I said, "If you're not up to speed on what you're voting on, I'm glad you don't vote.

Well, the New Yorker has an article about voting and the the electorate that actually votes.

If the only people that actually voted were up to speed on the issues, maybe we'd end up with a congress that would actually fix Social Security instead of Global Baloney.
