The Democrats have to force their voters to the polls. That says quite a bit about them, doesn’t it?
Then I have a counter-proposal.
Only tax-paying, property-owning heads of household get to vote. Everyone else is barred.
Sounds good to me!
My Great-grand-parents were dyed in wool Democrats. So were my grand-parents and parents. Holding always to the Dem line!
Yet they NEVER registered to vote because they did not want to be called for Jury Duty.
I like to tell people that since they all are now deceased, they have never missed an election.
My uncle told me of his first time voting in 1932. He was 16 years old, working with builders on a house when the local sheriff pulled up. The sheriff called them over and asked if they were going to vote.
They looked at each other, then said maybe later. The Sheriff says “Well, let’s just go now!” So they all were put in the patrol car and hauled to the polls.
Once there, the poll worker asked..”ARE YOU BOYS OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE?”
The Sheriff took over and said “HELL YES these boys are old enough to vote, and they are going to vote for FDR, AREN’T YOU BOYS!” They all shook their heads yes, and they all voted.
So my uncle always joked how he only voted one time in his entire life and that was when he was 16 years old.
He’ll find a way to stick it to the normal people and reward the indolent slackers.
Just mandate it by presidential decree like everything else. And while you’re making voting mandatory, with allowing ANYONE the right to vote regardless if they are US citizens or barred by state law, have the “default democrat” vote for those who don’t vote. Because we all know that democrats have the best interest of the everyman.
It's also quite devious. If people had to vote, that would force them to sign up on a national registry at the address where they reside, updated each election. Wouldn't that make it easier for the gov to round up undesirables?
Why not just revive an old Democrat tradition of handing out a fifth of cheap booze to people that show up at the polls.
The topic came up during a question and answer session, it’s not like he gave a speech wherein he planned to discuss the topic.
Prohibition was still in force at that time, 1932. Nowdays they could hand them a bottle, and a joint, AFTER they prove they voted the “proper” way.
I wouldn’t have any objection so long as we limited voting to tax paying, property holding male heads of households who are trinitarian Calvinists.
I wish that were the law now.
There you go ensuring it won’t pass. Oh well.
And if a voter fails to show up at the polling place, a helpful government representative will enter a vote for the correct candidate on his or her behalf.
If that passes, the next law is that anyone who doesn’t vote will have theirs default to the Democrats.
And veterans.
The latest polls show us ahead.. I think we'll win again.
Welfare has made their voters too fat and lazy to get up and go to the polls, and they know it.
