Denying someone the right to vote is fundamentally undemocratic by it's very nature. You are denying a vote. No matter how logical your suggestion may be you are placing a subjective restriction on others and you are crossing into dangerous territory. Where do you draw the line? How many issues must a person know? Does being a one issue (eg - abortion, death penalty, environment, defense) or straight-party-line voter make a vote less relevant? Who has the authority to determine what is an acceptable level of knowledge?
