Well, this isn't exactly a matter of intelligence, but a long time ago, you had to own property to vote. The founding fathers did that intentionally: They wanted the voters to be people who had a stake in the government--that is, people who actually cared.
One problem with modern elections--on both partisans--is that they just get van loads of people who don't give a crap to go out and vote for them. If you don't care enough to get registered yourself, to go to vote yourself, then you shouldn't complain if your guy doesn't get elected.
Aw crap. I'm rambling again.
