Too dumb to vote?

John Kerry told an audience yesterday that intimidation and trickery caused many not to vote last November.

''Leaflets are handed out saying Democrats vote on Wednesday, Republicans vote on Tuesday. People are told in telephone calls that if you've ever had a parking ticket, you're not allowed to vote,'' Kerry said.

Here's my question: If people are stupid enough to fall for these lines, do we really want them involved in the election of the leader of the free world?
