mandatory voting would require mandatory ID in order to enforce, which obama has already told us is racist. so, there you go.
Here’s what is behind this-amnesty + manditory voting = permanent Dem majority. Yes, it’s that simple.
I’m a little surprised he just has not simply come out yet and cancelled next year’s elections.
This was just an extension of his complaining that the GOP won last year (and 2010) because voter turnout was much lower than the POTUS race years 2008 and 2012 where he won, so he is saying that US citizens who would *never* vote for GOP candidate should be forced to vote.
It makes little sense except that he wants the uninformed to vote more, so Dems win more, because we all agree that is *best* for America...DADADa.
Having more Federal power over us is part of the story, but I really think there’s a simpler explanation for this. The real agenda behind mandatory voting is low voter turnout by minorities and by the indigent. The only reason Republicans get elected at all is that most of the 47% don’t vote. If they did vote, almost all of them would vote for liberal candidates. No need for “get out the vote” Democratic operatives going door to door when voting is mandatory.
I think we should let the entire world vote in our elections and make it mandatory. Wouldn’t that be the only fair thing to do? As an added bonus, it wouldn’t require any of those racciss I.D. requirements.
