Obamaland......
The people in Iraq under Saddam were forced to vote. Old Saddam use to get 99% of the vote. That’s what dems want here. It’s totalitarian to FORCE people to vote. The left knows that - and they don’t care.
One way people vote is with their feet. They don’t bother to vote if parties bring forth endless losers. NOT voting is a way for citizens to let the big fat ego types know they have to do better. It’s a friggin message. Read it liberals.
The reason dems want names o n voter roles is they vote people who don’t show up. (voting the dead is an accidental by product of voting the people who don’t show ) If it’s against the law to stay home on election day, the person staying home is NOT going to object to some democrat ‘voting for them’.
Democrats cheat - that’s what this is about. Democrats are also control freaks. That’s what this is about too...
Sad the ‘doting court eunuchs’ of the MSM fail to notice...
Either your signature or your brains will be on that Ballot.
I guess they’re disappointed that there was no bump for them after Obama made Amnesty the law of the land.
Looks like Orzag’s head is still stuck up Obama’s butt. Better get a winch and a tow truck to get it out before he suffers more brain damage.
I’d **hate** to see a rumor go around that police, sheriffs and other law enforcement will be near polling places to locate those voters with outstanding warrants, fake IDs, child support orders, welfare fraud, illegal aliens, wage garnishments, bounties and such like. That’d be a hateful rumor to start and I hope nobody gets it going, since that’d surpress the vote, especially amongst certain ethnic groups....
Comrade, Stop by your local voting station and sign in. For your convenience, we have filled out your ballot. Thank you for your cooperation.....

And this nutjob was head of the OMB? Sheesh, we're in trouble.
Hell why not! Then the IRS can also penalize us for not voting!
They also vote who only stay at home and watch TV. They’re saying “I don’t give a s@#$.” Why force them to make a statement favoring either candidate, when they in fact are making a statement that they both suck too much to be bothered with. This proposal is anti-democratic blather.
Well, you lose the choice to choose no one so collusion runs amok as certain special interests get their way whether you choose a or b.
I'm sure our learned colleague Herr Galston realizes that most localities take their Jury call lists from the voter registration rolls.....kinda chicken or egg, isn't it?
I have multiple personalities that will need to vote too.
188 million of them.
This is COMMUNIST.
Planting the seeds of a second American revolution.
When a govt. institutes forced voting it’s not long before there is only one candidate on the ballot.
It would be a logistical nightmare trying to force everyone to the polls.
I was thinking that mandatory voting would make it harder to fix the elections, since it wouldn’t be possible to look at the voter rolls late in the day and supply votes for those who didn’t show up. However, with mandatory voting—there actually would be *more* of an incentive to supply votes for those who didn’t show.
Nope, voluntary voting with mandatory ID check is the only way to go. People who must vote absentee (e.g. military) should have some mechanism to be able to verify their identity on the absentee ballot.
