I'm sort of skeptical of the rationale behind this - without implying that any of this is your personal worldview, it's very close to the worldviews that got us "Only landowners should vote" or "Only men should vote" or "Only the dominant race should vote" or "Only people who can afford this fee should vote" or "Only people who have never committed crimes should vote."

I totally get your point. That's why I don't think we should restrict adult Americans right to vote. But I don't think we should force everyone to vote, especially when most Americans are not very informed about politics.
