Mandatory voting coupled with sloppy registration is a recipe for permanent one-party control.

You want someone to vote?

Give them someone to vote FOR!

A low turn out is a sign of a candidate selection that can’t energize the voters. It doesn’t mean things are going well, it means the people don’t see a reason to bother.

“Other countries have mandatory voting. Why not us?”

What, like the Soveit Union?

What a maroon.

I think he is just trying to get his base out. The if-Obama-says-it-then-it-must-be-a-good-thing response. He’s really telling them, “If you want to beat them, y’all have to vote.”

Mandatory voting is an anti-freedom idea that only someone like him would even allow himself to suggest.

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help [you vote] ."

Yeah, nothing can go wrong with that.

We already have too many uninformed, uninvolved, uncaring idiots voting for wrong reasons.

Why do we need to force people to vote, when our leaders claim to represent the non-voters?

White people should not be allowed to vote.

Now he wants mandatory voting, in November he was claiming to act on behalf of the two-thirds of voters who did not vote.

Your vote can be for the king and for no one else.

This all began with the 2004 election; GW Bush won that election with 4 Million more votes than in 2000.

Wow! How could that happen? It seems the base came out to vote, not wanting another FL recount nightmare.

However, I have noted that Obama has had one serious obsession - having MORE THAN 4 MILLION MORE VOTES THAN THE REPUBS. Hmmmmm? That seems to me to be his reason for Amnesty. And, his comment that “... requiring EVERYBODY to vote would completely change the political map”.

While I do agree with that statement, without the Amnesty group being allowed to vote, the DemocRATS are only 37-39% of the vote. That means, HE HAS TO HAVE AMNESTY in order to win elections - unless and of course, unless the BASE of the GOP decides to stay home again.

Forcing people to vote is tyranny - there’s no other way to describe it; anyone who thinks this is a great thing is either blind or just plain stupid.

To force people to vote goes directly against America’s founding principle of freedom.

To force people to buy a product -- ANY PRODUCT -- including healthcare goes directly against America's founding principle of freedom.

That didn't stop the narcissist in chief from ramming Obamacare down everyone's throats now did it?

Wouldn't this be a poll tax, only charging people who didn't vote? Isn't the right to vote also the right not to vote? Wouldn't it amount to forced registration of people at a stated address every few years?

What a constitutional scholar!

We, here, all know this would lead to a permanent one party nation. Obama has brought in millions of illegals and they will vote for those who 'give them stuff'. Can Obama impose another mandatory law on the citizens, and demand a fee (TAX) if they don't comply? Sounds similar to Obama-care!

“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” ― Winston S. Churchill

Barack Obama; "we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America."

“When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.” Benjamin Franklin
