Great in theory, but I think that many people vote based on their emotions, though. I'd be hard pressed to find more than a handful of people understand the laws (any law), how they came to fruition, and who supported them.

Look at the presidential election campaigns. Ask ten people who they are voting for and why, and I'll bet that most of them will give answers like "he's too old", "he's too inexperienced", "he has miliatary experience and that makes me feel safe", "it's time for a black president", "women are too emotional to be president", etc.
