Ben,

What do we do with specific voters who are incapable of understanding the issues and their own best interests? (mildly mentally ill, serious drug abusers, senile people, some prisoners, etc...)

Do we want one party encouraging them to vote for that party?

I don't think it's such a bad thing if they don't show up.

I believe they get representation from the more moderate masses that understand and are well aware of their needs, desires, etc... Those people vote in a way that expresses the fact that some people are left out out of the process.

Do we really want hate groups, violent extremists, etc... to vote?

Theoretically, they deserve an equal voice, but personally I'd rather they stayed in their bunkers on election day.
