One Man, One Vote?

One Man, One Vote?

Joseph Farkas thinks that every vote cast should equal every other vote.
He feels that many people are voting without knowing why they are voting for a
certain person or why they aren't voting for another. He says that a vote cast
by a person with no or very little knowledge in the election should not count as
much as a vote cast by a person who knows alot about the election. The people
who care about who has an important role in the government should have a bigger
say in who is going to have that important role. The votes cast by a person who
doesn't really know why they are voting for someone should not equal as much as
an election educated person.
I do not think that this is a good idea at all. It would not encourage
people to learn more about the election but keep them away from the voting area.
It will probably make people not want to vote because many of them would think
that their vote will not mean as much to the election. It would make the people
who are familiar with the candidates want to vote because they would have a
bigger say in who gets elected. It would be very hard to decide who know what
about the running candidates and issues that are being addressed. They would
have to give some kind of multiple-choice question test that you had to fill out
while voting. It would take a long time for each person to vote and I think that
would make people less encouraged to come and vote. Since the only way to link a
vote with a test is to have them...
