Like everyone else has said, just because you are intelligent doesn't mean you are more qualified to make a decesion. You still have to
get off your ass to learn about what the facts are. You might be to understand them more quickly. But overall the dumb guy could spend
2 months learning everything the candidates stand for. And the guy that has 4 Phds, and works on highly classified technologies, who
doesn't care about the issues, but his job. He is probably not going to be educated on the politics. But his vote is going to count
more than the guy who spent the time to knows whats is going on.

One person = One Vote.

sadly, electoral votes/per capita mean that one person != one vote in the US. The actual value of your vote varies depending on where you cast it.
