I'd rather not go back to Mississippi pre-1965, thank you.

I don't want to exclude anyone or turn anyone away. But I think that anyone who is not inclined to vote without being pushed into it, probably won't make an informed choice anyway.* I would love to educate people so that they are self-motivated to vote.
(*however, in this election, I'm all for busloads of uninformed voters voting against Bush.)

Anyway, I'm really speaking more about congress, judges, local representatives ... President gets plenty of coverage & most people probably have some kind of semi-informed opinion, right or wrong.

I'd rather vote for candidates who will make our education system better than impose an intelligence standard for voting.I'd like to think that the former will result in the latter not being necessary.
