It just will never work. It will have bad results. People naturally don’t like being told what to do. This is actually very stupid and authoritarian, too. If we are going full authoritarian, then I personally would rather prevent so many people from voting.

    You don’t have any proof to back this up, you’re just being a doomer.

    Sooo… like I said, they can turn in an empty ballot…

    This is actually very stupid and authoritarian, too.

    It’s not, it would be authoritarian to force people to cast a vote for candidates on the ballot. Being allowed to write in candidates or turn in a blank ballot gives you the same amount of freedom to make your voice heard.

    We’re not

    then I personally would rather prevent so many people from voting.

    The data shows that the more people that vote, the better the elections tend to go for progressive candidates and policies.
