I would go further. I think we should have a whole range of "measures of citizenship" that each award additional votes. High school/college graduate, currently employed, military service, no criminal record, etc. Would all count.

The net effect would be that the trailer trash cousin-fucker gets one vote, and an upstanding citizen may get twenty or more.

This would disincentivize the race to the bottom we have now, where a thousand useful idiots beats a hundred well informed voters ten times over.
