Uninformed voters need to be able to decide policy, too. It's only taxpayer money, right?On Southern California Public Radio, Fernando Guerra, a researcher at the Center for the Study of Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount University, suggested a radical solution to increasing voter turnout: Enter all voters automatically into a $1 million lottery.
“Wouldn’t we get a lot of people who know nothing about politics or the candidates jumping in and voting and just checking the box so they could get a million bucks?” the radio host asked Guerra.
“Absolutely,” Guerra responded. But, he added, that might not be a bad thing. “That might produce better results. There is no data to show that uninformed voters make worse decisions than informed voters."
