There is no problem and no down side trying to get INFORMED voters! By mere definition, an informed voter is an educated voter.

Why would a TRULY informed voter stay home on election day? Because the "perfect" candidate isn't running? If that's the case then I would suggest that you never voted. But I doubt that's the case. Voting for the LESSER of two evils is better than voting for the WORSE of two evils, and it's better than not voting at all. Any way to cut it, staying home on election day is pathetic.
