There's an election tomorrow. Do voters know what they're doing? According to the typical economist — and many political scientists — the answer is "No, but it doesn't matter."

It is much simpler than that. Voters will always know what they are doing. If everyone votes who is eligible to vote and all the information is available to everyone equally - the voters will always come out with the right vote.

But people like Dick Morris and Karl Rove recognise that not all eligible voters vote. They can discourage some voters and they encourage others to vote. They can send out false information to some targets and they can spin the information they favor to other target voters.

The typical economists and social scientists are dupes and can be manipulated by the likes of Dick Morris and Karl Rove.

Democracy works.
