These are clearly people not likely to vote. Every tactic has probably already been tried to motivate them. So this is a last-resort effort. It might be the only motivation they understand to actually get involved and stop the liberal takeover of America.

Or they choose not to participate in the caucasus.. Either way, isn't it ultimately up to the voter to decide if they wish to vote, or are you advocating mandatory voting?

In Peru, the government fines you for not voting in an election ...

My wife has dual citizenship - Peruvian and American. But, since we are not able to visit Peru on a regular basis, she often is unable to cast a vote in her native country.

Peruvians are issued a national ID card, and each time they vote the card is stamped. When a citizen of Peru then goes to obtain or renew their passport, that ID card is checked for having all the stamps of each election - if there are missing entries, you get fined.

The only way around this issue is by absentee ballot - and the only place to obtain such is at a Peruvian consulate ...

That sucks for us, b/c the closest consulate is in Denver, Colorado - 260 miles away!
