- turn in blank ballots, honestly that would wake some of the local organizers up...as it is, areas with the most turn out get the most services -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 16:22

among the things I don't quite fathom about the US is why registering to vote is made so hard - Reagen Oct 18, 16:02
There is where I disagree. I don't want a bunch of idiots checking boxes to just GET IT OVER WITH. NO NO NO - Bacon Oct 18, 16:01 20
- You already have a bunch of idiots checking boxes, but it's because they're motivated voters. -- nm - Roger More Oct 18, 16:19 1
  - people voting for Trump because he's "a Godly man" are objectively dumber. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 16:21
- if voting is mandatory, it's harder to justify bullshit reasons to kick people off the rolls. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 16:11 11
  - I will never support mandatory voting. We would end up in worse shape not better. If anyone thinks Trump is the worst President? Oh we can do worse -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:14 1
    - I really believe the only reason he's not Kim jong Un, putin, hitler, sadam, is that we still have a few believers in the constitution and pesky rules -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 16:24
  - If voting is mandatory, we have the 7% of people that think chocolate milk comes from brown cows voting. - Strongbad Oct 18, 16:14 8
    - right - who says they're not? -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 16:14 7
      - Well instead of half or 4/5ths of them voting all 7% would be. Yeah us! - Bacon Oct 18, 16:16 6
        
        and they're swamped by the remainder of the 93%. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 16:18 5
        
        (i mean, if we're picking people not to vote, those bad at statistics top my list) -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 16:18 4
        
        People bad at statistics would ALL be voting!! -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:20 3
        
        I'm not picking and choosing, is the point. - Reagen Oct 18, 16:22 2
        
        I don't want mandatory voting. If people don't WANT to vote, I would just assume the do not vote. - Bacon Oct 18, 16:27 1
        
        Regarding the IM: That's what I want, too. No more gerrymandering, no more state-sponsored voter suppression. - Beryllium Oct 18, 16:50
- I would rather have that than property owners being the only ones with enough ID to vote. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 16:06 5
  - Whew your Canadian, you can't force this horrible idea on us. -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:09 4
    - by the way -- (link) - crash davis Oct 18, 16:11 3
      - Did you think my suggestions were going to make voting 100%? People don't fucking care, every idea on ST so far won't change that. We are just - Bacon Oct 18, 16:13 2
        
        ....screwed. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 16:15
        
        I'm going to have to get ready to go. I'll tell you about the other parts of my plan tomorrow (if you remind me) -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 16:14
