Re: Voting Debate
GCYW, I don't know about your area, but in my area you don't need a government ID to vote. You can prove your residency to register with a utility bill and you don't need any ID at all at the polling place.
Relativity, I don't think truly uninformed voters (people who don't know who the candidates, issues or general party stances) vote much at all. Of course, there are a lot of people who vote who don't know as much about the issues, but it is still important their voice be represented, because their interests are often different than those well versed in politics.
Many times, I've voted for a candidate I've never heard of in a minor race merely because of the "D" next to their name. I do this because based on my knowledge of politics, the D's are better than the R's so its ev+ to elect as many Democrats as possible. I don't see anything wrong with this kind of limited information voting.
CC, you did mean to be nitty, but that's ok.
