Is A Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote At All

I really had to sit back and think about this question. I asked many people what they thought of this situation and the responses varied. Is an uninformed vote better than not voting at all? After much preponderance, I decided that I do not know if a person that is not informed about the election is better off not voting at all. When you vote for someone, ideally, you are putting forth support for the beliefs and the plans that this person wishes to implement. You follow this person through their campaigning process, speeches, press conferences etc. You find out if what the person stands for is in anyway similar to your own beliefs. Then you make the decision to support them. If you do not know what the people campaigning wish to implement, if you do not know if you are in agreement with the policies that person wants to implement, there is a high chance that many policies may not be in accordance to your views. That person could implement policies that negatively affects people like you. Statistics show that the largest groups of non- voters are young adults between the ages 0f 18-24, women, and minorities. Their choice not to vote places the protection of their interests in the hands of others that are advocating for their own opinions and views. Basically the majority of the people making decisions reflect a small percentage of the US population. If you vote without knowledge of the candidates a person can be negatively affected, but if a person does not vote they can also be negatively affected. I think the lesser of the two evils, would actually making an uninformed vote. If more of the constituents are represented in the vote the more sway they may have in the policies that may affect them in some way.
