I think that the solution is not to force everyone to vote, but for everyone who is able to get ther to show up at the polls, even if they don't actually vote. This would pull the "my opinion doesn't make a difference" people into the polls, because most of them do have an opinion. I also think that day-before voter registration should replace the two-month limit, because two months is before the time when a good number of people start to really follow the campaigns, and they don't get around to registering until it's too late.
