Depends who you ask. Personally, I think in some cases it's good. Did you hear about the "Don't Vote" campaign during last year's elections? I think it was an AARP thing, and their point was: dont vote, without first being informed.
If you aren't gonna do your homework, dont bother showing up for the test, either.

Because the results can be manipulated by Supreme Court Justices, Secretaries of State, candidates and governors - all evidenced by what happened in Florida in the last two presidential elections. In Ohio, voting machines in 'black' areas were strangely not functioning, or the polls didn't open on time with enough elections workers. Is this because blacks generally vote along Democratic party lines? The last two elections are just more examples of how Bush has screwed you and the rest of the country.

At one time, yes. I think we have seen a resurgence in voting the last decade. I site the record poll turnouts in the last few elections. People seem to take their vote a little more seriously these days.

It's not. If one does not know enough to make a committed vote or simply doesn't care, please don't vote.
We have had Presidents in the past voted in because they are good looking, sound good or the voter simply closed his eyes and voted.
