The point is for people to vote, and you're saying you would prefer that less people vote. You're way too concerned with the method by which people vote.

To vote is to make an incredibly important, nuacned, and personal decision, one that requires more than a simple "dmcrt" or "rplcn" (though it seems many mindlessly vote that way anyway).  I do however, believe that the ridiculously high voter turnouts for these past Democrat (and even the Republican) primaries and caucuses shows a renewed interest in the elections unlike we have ever scene: Where we lazy idiots in 2004?
