    The question does remain whether or not the public not caring about the competency level of a specific elected official is grounds to restrict their voter autonomy? An argument could certainly be made that voting in a less competent candidate could be a strategic move.

      Reasonable restrictions can and should be made. You cannot elect a baby, you cannot elect a rock, you shouldn’t be electing someone who clearly isn’t medically capable of doing their job anymore.
