At my college there were people collecting signatures to "get out the vote" and to support a petition to extend early voting rights. When asked if I would like to help them out, I told them "the fewer people that vote, the better," and then I walked off. I can't say that I was joking either, not at all, I think that the last thing this country needs is even more ignorant people voting.
I can't help but sense that this might come across as somewhat elitist, but I'd much prefer it if only the most informed and educated people make decisions for this country. Wouldn't you agree that there is a lot of truth in that statement?
