It just will never work. It will have bad results.

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

People naturally don’t like being told what to do.

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.

If we are going full authoritarian

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.
