I agree with the thread starter, I think it is neither a good idea nor beneficial for democracy to let every virtually every moron vote. The one moron one vote thing is horrible! People that can neither name nor find the 5 continents on a map for example should not be allowed to vote.
I mean we do not let people drive a car or fly an air plane which are unable to, why should we allow people to vote which are clearly unable to make an informed decision? We have driver licenses and I believe that a kind of "voter license" people get by proving at least basic knowledge and understanding in matters of politics and economics would be a great idea to restore some meaning to elections.
