A low information voter, also known as a misinformation voter, is someone who participates in elections despite being generally poorly informed about political issues[1]. This term has been popular in the United States since the mid-1990s.

Key characteristics of low information voters include:

1. They tend to have more moderate ideological views compared to high-information voters[1].
2. They are less likely to vote, but when they do, they often choose candidates based on personal appeal rather than policy positions[1].
3. They are more likely to be swing voters and vote split-ticket[1].
4. They may rely on cues or heuristics, such as a candidate's appearance or behavior, rather than substantial information to make voting decisions[1].
5. They can be more susceptible to emotional appeals on various topics, including the economy, immigration, and racial relations[4].

Low information voters often lack fundamental facts about government and exhibit a low "need for cognition," meaning they are less inclined to engage in effortful thinking about complex issues[4]. This can make them more vulnerable to misinformation and less likely to critically evaluate candidates' claims or policy positions[4].

It's important to note that the term "low information voter" is sometimes used pejoratively, particularly in American political discourse[1]. However, the concept is studied seriously in political science to understand voting behavior and its impact on electoral outcomes.

People are too weird about genitals. Our culture finds it so uncomfortable to talk to their sons about cleaning their penis that we started cutting the foreskin off to spare them the embarrassment.

The history they wouldn't teach you, unless your mom paid scholastic

Please do not swear at me

If only he had been president for 4 years already or something, then we'd know

They would choose not to because it would save them money and that's all they care about.

Remember, they used to kick you off their plans when you got cancer claiming it was a preexisting condition.

Yeah and I liked Justin Amash but 1 or 2 local Congress people do not define the party, definitely not enough that anyone should vote Trump because of them.

Because Hilary campaigned on banning private prisons which caused their stocks to collapse for a year until she lost.
