I once had a professor who took the absurd position that all those eligible should be required to vote by law. He said they could vote for whomever they wanted, including "Mickey Mouse", but they have to vote for someone.

My obvious reply was, "Then Mickey Mouse will be elected President of the United States. What do we do then?" He had no good answer.

By the way, that professor was and is the Chairman of the Wake County, NC Board of Elections.

I once had a professor who took the absurd position that all those eligible should be required to vote by law.

I take the exact opposite position: if people have not educated themselves about the issues and candidates, it is their responsibility not to vote.
