Really?
Being
forced to vote wouldn't violate civil liberties?
Lots of people say the government should stay out of peoples lives, be it with sex, or drugs, or entertainment, but its ok to force someone to vote who doesn't really want to or care?
The befits of democracy have nothing to do with mandatory voting. Look at where you had mandatory voting and see if it made any difference.
