Lately people have been going berserk saying that they want to vote because of George Floyd, the virus and Trump and the Republicans etc. Here is an unpopular opinion. Maybe not everyone should vote if they aren’t educated on the issues.
There was a wise old conservative columnists named Charley Reese who years ago thought that it wasn’t a good idea for everyone to vote. His feeling was that there is no point in letting ignoramuses and morons vote and an evil myth. The purpose of voting is to elect men and women of competence and integrity to operate the mechanics of government fixed by the Constitution.
Given the state of affairs in many places in the USA maybe this is worth considering. I don’t know why so many people are allowed to vote and considered to be experts on public policy. Well good luck.
