          Explains a lot about US politics as well doesn’t it?

          The electoral system was designed for rich white landowners. They were expected to be educated and active in politics as part of their place. The system as designed, expects an educated electorate. As voting rights have been extended, the underlying system is still based on that fundamental assumption that no longer applies.
