IQ is pretty much a bullshit statistic that largely correllates to education and economic standing than anything else. There isn't some grand variance in intelligence, actually, what's at play is competing class interests and socioeconomic factors determining diet and access to education.

So if everybody is well-fed and educated, we could use it to let only the most intelligent people vote?

"Most intelligent" is a moving target, but by feeding and educating everyone people will in general have better skills for making good decisions, yes.
