What was that about "low information voters"?

Candidate for California Secretary of State withdraws after being indicted for trying to arm terrorists, still gets 287,000 votes. He got nearly 11% of the total, while the two winners got 29%. A very respectable showing!

Kalifornia is the world champion of low information voters. In this state a bag of rocks has more intelligence and integrity that the average voter.
As an example, several years ago a Democrat State Senator, Jenny Oropeza, was re-elected despite the fact that she had been dead for a month before the election.
In Kali., we like our politico's to be dirt dumb, under indictment or dead. This explains the mess we are in.
1) When LA County Sheriff Sherman Block died three days before the election (after being in a stroke-induced coma for two weeks or more), I found someone who voted for him even though he was dead. In her defense she said, "I thought he did a good job!"
2) Locally 20 years ago or so, 10% of the voters voted AGAINST "repealing obsolete, outdated and superseded ordinances."
All the people who vote like this should automatically be disenfranchised.
