No, not generally so... but maybe willfully ignorant enough that the rest of us shouldn't have to suffer for the effects of your ill-considered vote.

I agreed with that part. As I stated earlier I wouldn't mind voter qualification tests, but they would have to cover more than whether or not the prospective voter knew the names of his or her representatives. I don't think requiring high scores on an SAT-like test is particularly eletist. Even if it is, so what? A majority of German citizens became convinced that the Nazi party had the answers. I don't know if statistical information is available, but I'll bet that the same majority didn't exist among well-informed Germans.
