I think it has the opposite effect. I would predict voting rates would fall. Maybe not the first election but sooner than later. - Bacon Oct 18, 15:52 10
- FWIW Australia has had compulsory voting since the 1920s and turnout at its last election was 94% -- nm - Roger More Oct 18, 16:22 3
  - My comment was in response to a National Voting Holiday, not David's horrible idea of mandatory voting. -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:25 2
    - This thread is too long and confusing! (I still think you're wrong) -- nm - Roger More Oct 18, 16:28 1
      - Get in line, everyone always thinks I am wrong. -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:28
- Did you see the report on millennials not voting because they don't know where to buy stamps? :) - crash davis Oct 18, 15:56 5
  - We have MANY sites to drop off ballots to avoid mailing them. I know of three places 2 miles or less from my house. Drive up and drop are common too - Bacon Oct 18, 16:00 4
    - again, not the point...post a video of the Governor of Alabama saying "We should do things like OR" and I'll go along with you -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 16:01 3
      - National Holiday doesn't force employers to give people a day off. You know who works on National Holidays? Big Business votes typically how? - Bacon Oct 18, 16:06 2
        
        A National Holiday is the easiest thing to achieve on my three part plan. Just hush and support me. -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 16:07 1
        
        Like I told Krusty. Help me get rid of daylight savings time, and I will support your idea. -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:18
