The problem isn't educating low information voters. The problem is that they refuse to be educated or informed. As Wilson points out, information is easily available at the click of a mouse.

The problem is getting fewer of these idiots to vote. The 2012 results were marginally better than 2008 because marginally fewer of these idiots actually bothered to vote. The 2010 results were significantly better than 2008 because significantly fewer of them bothered to vote.

low info voters barely knew there was an election going on in 2010.

Personally i’d move the presidential election to a year all on its own and have the senate and congress on their own away from low info voters who only turn out for popularity contests. Have the presidency say in 2012, have the senate and congress all up for election in 2014 all on 4 year terms, might stem the crap off low info’s showing up in the POTUS idol contest.
