How about mandatory thorough investigation of a presidential candidate AND disclosing the results to the voters? I was thinking along the same lines. How about mandatory disclosure of birth, tax, education, funding documents among others. What a POS!!!

When voting is mandatory, I’ll vote by not voting. That little tinpot, faggot dictator can whine all he wants.

Everyone must wear clean underwear. To allow easy inspection for compliance, it must be worn on the outside

The clout of millionaires and billionaires in campaign funding has been enormous, and many claim the uber wealthy have undue leverage in politics. Just like Warren Buffett and George Soros in the last election.

“Mandatory anything is a bad idea.”
Incorrect. See my post about mandatory Jessica Biel!

Na ..then they will “interpret” your ballot, who you intended to vote for... same with a blank ballot.. someone will “interpret” who you “intended” to vote for.. someone will.even got to court to make sure all those blank or miss-marked ballots are reviewed and counted for there “intended” vote...
And that “interpreted” vote will be...surprise surprise...LOL...For the Dem leftist....ever time...
Mandatory voting + blank / mismarked ballots = count as Dem as assumes default vote for everyone

Mandatory expiration of all laws and resolution of all agencies after 15 years of establishment.
To: Starman417
The rest of the article:
“...So since the right to bear arms is also in our Constitution, does President Obama also want to make it mandatory that every citizen be a gun owner, or pay a fine? Or, since “Australia and some other countries” have mandatory voting, should we also base our gun-ownership on a foreign nation’s practices such as Switzerland? What else do we want to adopt since other nations do it? The reality is, Australia’s voting system is completely different from ours. So citing it is just bizarre, to me.
Mandatory voting would be forced speech. Not free speech. Being forced to cast a vote is just as wrong as being denied the right to vote.
