What is your opinion on compulsory voting and why do you feel that way?

Actually only two people were found guilty of voter fraud, and one of them was Ann Coulter. Errors in registrations by such groups as ACORN never results in significant Voter fraud. Our voting system is pretty bad in a number of ways: 1) No mandates to check on the reliability and bias (other countries use exit polls, but our elections are so bad we refuse to check them) 2) The people who run the elections are often the party chair to whatever part won the statehouse 3) We rely on electronic machines without paper trails 4) 1-3% of votes that are spoiled are minority votes 5)… [cont.]
