A better educated electorate might change the reason many persons vote.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If we go by the National Popular Vote, we'll get more people voting.
They may then be willing to cast principled votes based on an educated understanding of the public interest in the face of polls suggesting that the public itself may have quite a different understanding of where its interest lies.
We know that if we're going to remain economically competitive in the world, and viable as a civic democracy, that we're going to have to get more people educated to higher levels.
Economic progress and better education have directly resulted in the birth of a class of voters who are better informed, very demanding and highly critical.
Voter turnout comes down to organizing, educating, activating.
As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing.
Reading builds the educated and informed electorate so vital to our democracy.
Polls can change; people's opinions can change. Voting intentions can change, and I think it would be a silly leader, a silly political party, that would assume that we have it sewn up.
The only way to change is to vote. People are responsible.
I think there should be a literacy test and a poll tax for people to vote.
