STAY AWAY FROM THE POLLS, DUM-DUMS!
But naturally, this is another Dem attempt to get their base of ininformed voters to the poll.
we already have this for felons in Minnesota.
Answer: ABSOLUTELY NOT! Uninformed voters vote for socialists like Obastard. Need I say more?
Good Lord!
No! In fact voting should be restricted to people who pay income taxes.
If a person does not care or want to vote, then they should notbe forced to vote. In fact, perhaps we need a compulsory test to see if people know enough about America to vote as an informed citizen.
Countries with small populations sometimes adopt compulsory voting in order to keep small organized cliques of radicals from taking over the government. We don’t have that issue in play here. (they way things are going though I would not be surprised if they adopted a law saying that you were DEEMED to have voted for the incumbent unless you showed up and voted otherwise)
STAY AWAY FROM THE POLLS, DUM-DUMS!
I don't believe in compulsory "education", either.
It's NOT the government's job to compel me to do anything for "my own good".
As for voting, it would be better to RESTRICT voting to only citizens that can pass a basic, ninth-grade American Civics test IN ENGLISH.
They should be able to enumerate the Bill of Rights, understand the Division of Powers, what those Divisions are, and what functions they serve.
If they can't get a passing score on that test, IN ENGLISH, then they SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOTE!
Frankly, I think its time to limit voting “rights”. To be able to vote a citizen should 1) provide documentary proof of citizenship, 2) pass a written exam on the governmental organization and operation in the US (Civics), and 3) own property with proof of taxes paid prior to the current election.
If you are a welfare dependent, you should not have a right to vote since you are a “ward of the state”.
Actually the Dem plan is that everyone is forced to vote and all are counted as Dem votes.
Come on now. Forcing people to vote in a free democratic election is self-contradictory and just plain nonsense.
Liberals' client constituencies don't vote heavily enough, so he wants to herd them to the polls with cattle prods.
Gotta earn your way on the Democratic Plantation, boy.
Only those who are net contributors to the government should be allowed to vote. And, even among the net contributors, those who have not studied the issues and the candidates should be encouraged to skip it.
If everybody votes, we’ll be more free, and the government will be more legitimate. Win win!
Time to bring back the poll tax. The uninterested and uninformed should be discouraged from voting.
The lazy and uniformed would not know how to vote.
Most people who choose not to vote are doing their fellow citizens a favor by not having their ignorance dilute the votes of the informed. Compulsory voting sounds like what communists and third-world despots enact because they know they need the illusion of popular support to continue their anti-human campaigns as “the will of the people”.
We're already there. If you don't vote, someone will vote on your behalf.

complusary voting is why Brazil is so poor and socialist. Corrupt politicans throw small amounts of money around the favelas, make promises, and the stupid vote regularly for the socialists. Since the extremely poor and stupid vastly outnumber the educated, Brazil can never make much progress. Of couse, the socialists know this, which is why there is so much poverty.
The first mistake was letting non-land holders vote.
The second mistake, to my chagrin as a female, was giving the vote to women. JMHO
No, in fact, I think people who don’t pay income taxes SHOULDN’T get to vote. You don’t pay in, you don’t get to decide how it gets spent.
Next question.
