Proposal to make voting mandatory riles Ridgway - The Denver Post I'm not very comfortable with forcing people to vote.
Me neither although its an interesting proposition. I just think voting is license to bitch. If you don't participate - STFU.
Not voting is as much of a statement as voting is. You're saying you don't endorse the system or the horrible choices put forth.
perhaps NOT voting is a persons' way of expressing his/her political beliefs. seems to me that freedom of speech means that a person has a right to NOT vote AND to complain...
Oy vey, some of the shit you hear coming out of colorado is unbelievable. Forced voting. First off, do you really want people that don't care voting in elections because they are forced to.
Well we value liberty here in the U.S. There is no duty to vote, only the individual choice to do so.
