If uninformed voters are so evenly distributed as you claim, then their absence in participation is not something to be concerned about.

I recognize that is sort of a semantic argument, but my claim is that people who are actually uninformed or grossly misinformed would vote basically randomly at scale but the kind of people who use the term uninformed voters typically mean 'people who vote for reasons or have priorities that I think are wrong' or 'my nonexistent group of straw-men that I use to cope with election results I don't understand because I'm so deep in my social bubble.'

Then you should be aware of the disservice you do the debate by preemptively framing people who bring up the issue with being misinformed as those people.
