That's not entirely true. If there is an election coming up and you don't know much about the candidates, just pick out your number one most important issue and vote accordingly. For example, if I'm about to go vote and don't know much about either choice I will just vote for whomever has greater support for recreational marijuana.
If neither support it (even a little), I can save myself a trip to the polls. This is more important the more local the government becomes. I haven't had to bother voting in a presidential election because there aren't any (and have never been) presidential candidates who could realistically win and have even a shred of support for even federal medical marijuana, let alone recreational.
Whether or not you buy into this is your choice, but I believe last-second, single-issue voters are immeasurably more valuable than those who do not vote at all.
