2. Vote!

3. You should Vote!

4. You must Vote!

5. You Will Vote.

6. Under Penalty of Law, you Will Vote.

7. Under Penalty of Law, this is how you will vote.

(see how far along this is?)

Wouldn’t just a public hanging be a lot more appropriate?

Are you willing to fine people for skipping jury duty?

Are you willing to fine people who don’t pay their child support?

Are you willing to fine people who play the knockout game?

This is idiotic. I don’t want people voting unless they know what the hell the candidates stand for, the propositions are etc. Requiring people to vote without them taking the responsibility to inform themselves just minimizes the votes of those who do inform themselves. It also increases the chances of them voting for who they are told to vote for. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb.

North Korea has 100% voter participation as well And for the same reason the Democrats want it.

Can you get multiple fines, if it was deemed that you could have voted multiple times? What if you voted just once; but, you had no good excuse for not voting again? Would party affiliation make a difference?

Why not pay people to vote?

No, wait, in some cities they already do that.

One absolute truth about Libtards is they spend most of their time determining what next part of (what used to be) normal life, they can make illegal.

Ayn Rand called this exactly!
“The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”
