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.
