I keep posting videos of low information people, the uninformed, the politically illiterate; they would be funny if not so sad

. I keep asking the question, should this person be allowed to vote? The USA is full of these people. Worse many of these illiterates are teachers. In any case, I think this is a question that needs an answer. The illiterate usually don't vote in off year elections, but they do vote for President.. if they can find their precinct. We don't need another disaster... so maybe Ann has a point. You don't need to know everything, but shouldn't you at least have a clue?
Perhaps this voice from the founding of our nation will help reinforce what Coulter said:
"Convinced that the people are the only safe depositories of their own liberty, and that they are not safe unless enlightened to a certain degree, I have looked on our present state of liberty as a short-lived possession unless the mass of the people could be informed to a certain degree." --Thomas Jefferson
"It is an axiom in my mind that our liberty can never be safe but in the hands of the people themselves, and that, too, of the people with a certain degree of instruction. This is the business of the state to effect, and on a general plan." --Thomas Jefferson
"I do most anxiously wish to see the highest degrees of education given to the higher degrees of genius and to all degrees of it, so much as may enable them to read and understand what is going on in the world and to keep their part of it going on right; for nothing can keep it right but their own vigilant and distrustful superintendence." --Thomas Jefferson
Coulter argued that "maybe we could check to see if can name the vice president before letting them vote"
