Who would decide who is uninformed? I tend to think anyone who is voting opposite from me in this election is very uninformed. Does that mean they shouldn’t be allowed to vote?
There has to be more reason than “uninformed” before we start making rules that would take the vote away from millions of people.
In any election, anywhere in the world, the important thing is the percentage of registered voters who actually vote. Sad thing is that many people don’t bother to vote and so you have something like 65% or 70% of the population going to the polls. So, the final vote is not a true reflection of the public’s wishes.
