    If a person is uneducated and illiterate then how did they read their ballots and all the ballot measures that usually go along with them? How does an uneducated and illiterate person keep up with the issues? How can an illiterate person be educated enough to make decisions that will impact an entire country?

    The below cities played a large roll in deciding who got elected, but look at their rate of illiteracy, it's off the charts and then look who they voted for.

    Philly: 22%+ illiterate

    82% voted for Joe Biden


    Detroit: 47% illiterate

    95% voted for Joe Biden


    Milwaukee: 22-25& illiterate

    69% voted for Joe Biden

    Atlanta: 20% illiterate

    73% voted for Joe Biden

    When you add up illiterate and uneducated voters (and then add in the fraud) then that could explain why so many people voted for Biden.

    Imagine your vote being cancelled out by a woman who was told how to vote by a bossy husband or boyfriend. Remember that claim from 4 years ago?

    There were no ballot measures on my Pa. ballot in Bucks county, just the presidential and statewide and local offices being contested.

    To be fair most people are fairly "uneducated" voters when it comes to politics. This forum is by no means an accurate representation of the American public, most folks have very little idea how the government even works and are not interested in learning either. The average American regardless of their political ideology couldn't explain to you even in layman's terms how laws are passed and most probably couldn't even tell you who their own Senators or Representatives are. They could probably name the big 3 famous politicians you see on TV every day and that's about it meaning Trump, Pence, and Pelosi and that's pushing it. I've met plenty of people in real life who honestly had no idea who Mike Pence was...

    This is why we are a Republic and not a Democracy and the reason why I don't get to personally pick and choose where my taxes go. Not to be mean but people in general ARE ignorant of how government works which is why the system isn't designed to let the average person have any real say so in anything other than casting a vote for politicians who will then in turn do thy bidding for you...in theory.

    Nothing you can do about it though. Any form of even the most basic 3rd grade level test of intelligence prior to being allowed to vote would be shot down as disenfranchisement and unconstitutional. So in turn everybody gets to vote, even those who literally have no idea about anything regarding government whatsoever.

    I had a family member post on Facebook last month making fun of Trump calling him the biggest idiot in the world for saying that coyotes were bringing illegal kids across the border. She posted a picture of a coyote, the animal kind, carrying a baby in a bundle and said "This is how yall's idiot President thinks immigrants get here, there is no way anybody with intelligence could vote for this moron, seriously!"...

    She got a bunch of likes and shares from other members of my family and comments of them laughing and agreeing with her....

    All of them are allowed to vote...just saying...

    After weeks of Republicans who clearly don't understand how elections work screaming 'FRAUD' it is pretty clear there are indeed a lot of 'uneducated' people voting. Apparently a nuber of those sworn affidavits alleging fraud were from observers who had failed to attend training, and were therefore uneducated about the very process they were observing.

    Uneducated people should not be allowed to observe elections or question their legitimacy.
