I wish I could find the reference where I heard it, but I did hear on 96.9 some day soon after the current the election that an entrance poll was done that showed a fair number of people showing up to the polls couldn't even tell you what the election was for - similar exit polls demonstrated that some people didn't even know who the running mate was for the candidate they voted for.

Another poll was done where they replaced views that were clearly Obama's but said they were McCain's and vica-versa, and a fair number of people didn't even notice.

These are the people that shouldn't be going to the polls.
