The cure is simple, stupid people can’t vote or at least stupid people can’t be candidates.

While I agree that in principle this would solve a lot of problems with our current setup, in practice the racists and idiots always end up getting control over who gets to vote and who doesn't, and they end up only allowing people they approve of to vote. It's been tried before and it failed spectacularly due to corruption, like most things.
