I don't think its smart to force people to vote on decisions they are not educated on, and it's unreasonable to expect everyone to have a valid understanding of every issue. You just end up being able to decide every ballot measure based on who paid the most for advertising (so basically the way it is now).

On the other hand, it would lessen the influence of groups with strong cohesion (like religious groups) who are better at mobilizing "their" voters

Not sure which poison is worse.
