President Obama, whose party was trounced in last years midterm election due to poor turnout among Democrats, endorsed the idea of mandatory voting Wednesday.
It would be transformative if everybody voted, Mr. Obama said during a town-hall event in Cleveland. That would counteract [campaign] money more than anything. If everybody voted, then it would completely change the political map in this country.
Mr. Obama raised the subject during a discussion of curbing the influence of campaign donations in U.S. elections. The president said he had never discussed the idea publicly before, but said Australia and some other countries have compulsory voting.

You will vote, it’s mandatory. Fill out your registration papers with all your information and remember, when you sign it’s under penalty of perjury.
Regardless if you support a candidate or not, you must vote as the law requires. Failure to comply and fill out the form will result in fines, forfeiture of tax returns and or imprisonment.
And anyone approved under the federal amnesty program must vote or lose their tax paid benefits.
Putting all of the producers in jail is going to reduce his tax flow quite a bit. I’m not sure the Fed could create enough fake money to replace it.
A lot of people dont register to try and stay off the grubermint’s radar screen.
I was never called to jury duty until I registered to vote.
Next step: REQUIRED Voting. And only one person on the ballot per office. Worked great in the USSR for many years!!
The same documentation required to prove everyone voted is the same documentation that can be used to restrict people from voting more than once. I wonder if he has thought this through.
Yep, we can bet he’ll be doing everything he possibly can, to include illegal actions, in the time he has left to do damage to our freedoms and the country.
Except that not voting is a vote of a different sort.
“Hes an idiot.”
Probably, but the people who are pulling his strings aren’t.
Well... With only one box on the ballor (D), it should make things easier...
Some have been warning others for decades our electoral motor voter process has been corrupted, undermined and compromised.
I just had someone suggest in Wisconsin, all this amnesty and millions pouring into the U.S. is not a significant issue for them.
Few listened or heeded all the endless red flags and warnings.
If you don’t vote, we’ll vote for you.
Hear, hear!

Cleveland!!! The Cleveland precinct's that set forth 104% and 113% of registered voters!!! Cleveland already has more than everybody voting now.
As so many Democrat controlled/run cities have similar 'everybody, then some' voting.
I agree.
If voting becomes mandatory then we need to have NONE OF THE ABOVE on the ballot.
“Otherwise youre a racist.”
Yes I am!
