    But at least with volunteer voting, you get some correlation between someone being informed and their likelihood of voting.

      I disagree. You would see a correlation between those people who think they are informed and those who vote.

      And unfortunately, people who are smart enough to know they aren’t informed are probably the ones who should be voting. Forcing them to do so will cause some portion to read.

      People who are SURE they are informed are either the very well informed, or the idiots who don’t know any better, but who will happily vote for whoever they are told.
