Why Vote Article

I believe that the author of this article does have a point, but it is somewhat extreme. He claims that the ads mudslinging candidates cause people to not vote as a whole, however, I think it is untrue. I don't think the majority of the people would take these ads seriously if they were truly aware of the candidates. Also, I don't agree with what my other classmates had to say when they brought up conjuring a form of test/merit based system that would base whether a person could vote or not. I have to agree with Candace and say that, that method would be unconstitutional.
