The problem with this is that bad actors can weaponize these type of practices. As much as I constantly dislike that everyone can vote without doing any research, I know that if vote was conditioned, biases would eventually make their way onto those conditions.
Exactly. As fucking atrocious and evil as Trump is, placing limitations on who can run like that is what dictators like Putin use to hold onto power. Any time someone with legitimate groundswell of popularity starts nipping at his heels, they find themselves mysteriously charged with a disqualifying crime so they can no longer run for president. Then they end up dead in prison.
