Compulsory voting for those who pass the test?

If only all informed people would voluntarily vote and all uninformed people would stay home...

...democracy would be worse off.

Seeing all these self-professed leftists fantasize about kicking out "uninformed" voters makes me sick. You gleefully trample on the most basic and sacred progressive values. TNF might well be right about American liberals being a bunch of hypocritical elitists, after all.

How would democracy be worse if the electorate were more informed, now?

Not sure where uninformed voting is in the progressive handbook.
