Some random theorizing I was doing today in the wake of some political discussions. Two statements that I think are indisputably true: (1) In any democracy, some small subset of the citizenry will be better informed about politics than the rest of the population. Following Popkin, we could call them high-information and low-information voters. Here I will call them normal and sophisticated voters.
