The concept of one man one vote should include the requirement that the one man is informed of the vote he is casting rather than mindlessly allowing someone to cast your vote for you. If you are note able to determine who you actually want to vote for you should not be allowed to vote. I remember back in the days when we used paper ballots some people would come in with sample ballots that had holes in the ballots so that they only had to place it over the actual ballot and color in the holes. If you ask them who they are voting for they could not tell you anything about any of the candidates only that they were given the samples by someone and said to use them to vote. In one case that was actually investigated and some people served time they asked one fellow sitting outside the polling station how many times he voted. He said he wasn’t sure but every time someone came by and offered him a half-pint of liquor to go vote for them he voted. I think they finally figured out he had voted five times.
