Who are you to determine who is fit to vote or not vote? The point of democracy is that EVERY citizen has a say in their government, despite how insane their belief system may be.
I'm not saying I am and I don't claim to have an alternative to the current system.
However it's my very subjective opinion that participation in the democratic process maybe shouldn't be unconditional considering there are people who are that prone to be manipulated by objectively and obviously fake news as outlined in the article. Most roles in society, whether it's being a lawyer, doctor, parent, student or bus driver, come with requirements. Maybe being a voter should too. Again, I don't have any solutions - just thinking out loud.
Regardless of this and to put focus on those that publish this nonsense, of course there should be real consequences and liabilities for the outlets of these insane stories.
