Let's be clear, compulsory voting isn't a new idea. It's been used before and almost immediately leads to a pure democracy. In a pure democracy there is no minority protection for starters and the uninformed rule the ballot box. Half of the country doesn't even know the names of their state reps and now we want to make voting mandatory!?

 

Hopefully this is just hot air and something mentioned in passing, if Obama is serious or there's a serious movement within government in general to make voting compulsory we're in real big trouble.
