and informed. It keeps the Democracy healthy, makes it prosper even. If you are decided your vote off of shallow reasoning, such as "he is Black" or "she's a women" I guarantee you that is not an educated decision, and that it is more harmful to Democracy, than helpful.
Sure, it could be a supporting point, it could be the tipping point when all other things are equal, but candidates are rarely, if ever, that equal.
But, if gender or race, is one of your main criteria, that is not a dutiful voting choice.
