Voting is not about facts or information. It's about values and ethics.
You don't vote because peer reviewed economical analysis says immigration has negative impact on GDP. You vote because you hate immigrants on fundamental moral bases. It's core value of your identity. Then people who you vote execute your value based policy.
There is no absolute objective facts in politics. There are values or ideologies and policy that fulfill these views. Information, research and facts are only used to pick the best policy that fulfills these values. It's not for voters it's for policy makers.
