Saying that only college graduates are qualified to vote because they're smarter is crazy. Some of the stupidest people I know are college graduates and some of the smartest are blue-collar tradespeople. The knowledge of a collection of facts is no substitute for life experience. The argument could be made that college graduates are less worthy to vote because they're too idealistic and unrealistic. I would propose the voting age for college graduates be raised to 25, when they'd have some real life under their belts. Discounting the votes of those who haven't gone to college is simply undemocratic and non-representative.
