I'm not sure if I'm reading your comment correctly. I totally agree we should aim towards educated and politically active society. However, educated bit should come first. Then we can start making it easier to participate. Tiering the barrier of coming to polling place won't educate people by itself.

Yeah, I'd imagine the founding fathers would see today's voting populace as quite educated, relative to theirs...

How do you get those educated citizens when it's against the rulers interest?
