I dont think education would have an effect on whether or not the movie was made or released, there is alot of compelling things in there. Without them, theres no material to make the movie with. I really dont think people will vote based on a movie.
I had made up my mind about which way to vote at least a year ago for example.. I would consider myself a moderate really, and I dont care which party is in office. I just care about the people in office, and I'll make fun of the next guy when he or she deserves it too, lol 
Incidently, the distributor of the movie says that it's 100% based on fact. BASED on fact. I personally dont care to argue one way or the other on that, but they claim they are ready and waiting to fight people who outright claim something stated as fact in the movie is a lie. They sound pretty confident. Beats me.
One thing that is for sure, it got people talking and debating, which can only be a good thing. These days, people have so many media outlets that they can simple watch or listen or surf on sites that already align with their views. Thats dangerous I think..
Anywho, I'd just encourage people to be sure to think for themselves, and have a real reason or two when they vote. Dont take either sides extreme arguments as gospel truth, just use common sense and vote your mind.

Well, i assume educated people have avenues to do their own research and think for themselves. And I think there is a tendency to think everyone thinks for themselves to some level. But, I think history has proven this is simply not true. If it was we wouldnt see all the campaign ads etc. We'd just have a few debates and let the issues stand out.
Based on facts is what they say. I'm sure they can prove that thats not really saying much. Theories on how we got here are based on fact but that doesnt mean they are true.
I wish everyone would think for themselves and let the issues speak for themselves. The worst thing I can imagine is someone voting for Kerry or whoever just simply because they think Bush is a liar. Not, because they like Kerry and the way he stands on his issues etc.
