[Tfug] tfug Digest, Vol 102, Issue 16

[shanna leonard]

The way it works in Australia has always seemed like a good idea to me: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_voting

You could cast "none of the above" - but at least show up to vote.  I 
think voting should be a responsibility of citizenship.

However, since in the US we have no "affirmative" right to vote (IE 
Constitutionally protected ),  I don't see it happening soon.
