Most people already don't vote voluntarily.

Forcing the uninformed and uninterested to vote has never yielded better results by any measure.



it would at least help with making voting the default, also it would be normal to insert it into a schedule for employers, have enough polling places, etc. (okay, okay, I know, of course it's terminal naivete, fascist cumbombs would continue to smear their nastiness all over anyway. yet defaults matter. laws matter.)


In california you have two weeks to vote in some precincts. Its more time consuming to buy milk than it is to vote for many.


that's an interesting theory but nearly impossible to prove, thus safe from scrutiny?
