65. Low education voters
It takes longer to write than stupid voters, but that's the phrase I'm going with. I am going to try to have as much hope as possible that teaching these low information voters will help them to make choices more in line with what they as an electorate, actually need.

Read: What's the matter with Kansas. for a long boring read about the phenomenon of people voting against their interests.

Oh, and Citizen's United - apparently you can throw enough money at ads that those low information voters vote the way you want them to.
