I was reading a book on the arguments for and against compulsory voting, and one of the arguments that stuck with me was about voter ignorance. The point the guy, Jason Brennan, made was that it's not the bottom quartile of potential voters that are ignorant. That's the second to bottom quartile. The bottom quartile of citizens are actually actively wrong. You give them a 100 question true or false test they'll get under 25 right. They're not just ignorant, but misinformed.

Incentivado? Também não. A enorme maioria das pessoas que votam não são remotamente informadas o suficiente pra um voto competente. A enorme maioria das pessoas simplesmente não devem votar, já que o voto delas só polui a qualidade da democracia. Nós não vamos ter governos melhores se quantidades maiores de pessoas mal-informadas nos assuntos cruciais votando. Ótimo livro que eu recomendo, de dois cientistas políticos debatendo esse assunto: Compulsory Voting For and Against.
