Einstein was a physicist. He probably had more sense about politics than random inattentive person who votes on the basis of emotion, but I'm going to hope that people who actually know something about politics get influence by writing and/or politicking. Their influence isn't limited to their vote.

In fact, Einstein was pretty politically active and influential, largely as a socialist, pacifist, and mild Zionist.
