Someone sent me this audio link to a radio show that interviewed Obama supporters in Harlem, but attributed McCain policies (and running mate) to Obama. These citizens cluelessly and enthusiastically support the pro-life, pro-war Obama-Palin ticket.
Listen here.
There is a simple history and civics test for people applying for citizenship. Why not one for voting?
We don't allow children or the insane to vote. They can't understand either the candidates, the issues or their own interests, much less connect these things in a meaningful way. The moral foundation and utility of democratic elections is the ability of people to understand these things and their relation to one another at even the simplest level. How are the hopelessly confused and appallingly uninformed any different?
