Low information, most commonly used in the phrase, "low-information voter." Used to describe a person that is manifestly uninformed, ill-informed, brainwashed, unable to think long-term or rationally, etc., and yet insists on screwing up the country by exercising his or her so-called "right to vote."

American pollster and political scientist Samuel Popkin coined the term "low-information" in 1991 when he used the phrase 'low-information signaling" in his book The Reasoning Voter: Communication and Persuasion in Presidential Campaigns.
Sam: Are you going to vote in the election tomorrow?

Harry: No way. What's the point? The polls are going to be swamped by lofos.

Sam: You're right. I guess I'll just watch The Voice. This country has gone to pot.
