I think the paradox can be resolved by realizing that a population can be partitioned into groups such as left, center, and right, but that a given group like "center" may well be quite heterogeneous: I may choose to vote along the center because I strongly believe in the role of experts over the opinions of voters, or I may simply be an idiot who lacks an appreciation for the importance of liberal values, perhaps not even caring or knowing about left or right, causing my voting preferences to average out to center.
I seem to remember reading here that undecided voters were the dumbest group of the voting public (and how insane it is that we let them decide the fate of candidates in early battleground states in the primary elections).
