My vote, or anyone else's, shouldn't be cancelled out by the person who voted simply based on "president with the familiar name."
It's kinda self explanitory. Why should someone that doesn't know what they're doing have a say in how this country is run? Makes no sense.

Fair enough. Let me ask a more fundamental question to better understand you: What is the purpose of an election? I don't mean to elect a candidate, but why make it an election for the general populace to participate in, versus simply having a 'Council of Wise Men' or some such to review and select candidates for positions of authority?
