Obama Now Calling For Mandatory Voting in the U.S.

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Editor’s Note: Sounds…oh, I dunno…just a smidge like a dictator, no? Forcing people to vote in sham elections? Why, so crony puppets like him can have a 90% win and we can continue on with this lie that any pleb’s vote actually counts in the United Corporations of America?

On Wednesday, Barack Obama was speaking at a town-hall event in Cleveland, Ohio when he openly endorsed the idea of mandatory voting laws.

The President mentioned the idea while in a dialogue about putting restraints on the influence that campaign donations and finances have on U.S. elections.

“It would be transformative if everybody voted,” said the politician who raised over a billion – with a B –  dollars during each of his two presidential runs. “That would counteract [campaign] money more than anything. If everybody voted, then it would completely change the political map in this country.”

“Other countries have mandatory voting,” the President said referencing nations like Australia, which passed compulsory voting laws in 1924. Down Under, a citizen will be fined and can even be jailed in certain situations if they do not cast a ballot.

While Mr. Obama refrained from committing to pursuing legislation regarding the topic on a federal level, he did say that he believed “that [mandatory voting laws] may end up being a better strategy in the short term” to curb the massive impact money has on the election process.

This incredulous suggestion comes just months after Democrats received an overwhelming drubbing in the mid-term elections, which was blamed on low voter turnout.

      If the choice presented is no choice at all, iis only the lesser of two evils, one MUST NOT VOTE.
      Voting for the lesser of two evils is a vote FOR evil.
      This is how evil gains the color of law, gains appearance of consent,to legitimize its conduct.
      The aparthied government of south africa FELL and Nelson Mndela was released from prison to lead the country, after voter participation hit record lows, removing any legitimacy of the Aprathied Government.
      Let history be your guide, do NOT consent to be ruled by evil.

      What we really need is term limits and a reduction in perquisites. This will discourage the leeches who get into the “Biz” for a free ride.

      I believe that voting is not only a privilege but also a MORAL OBLIGATION…

      If voting really mattered it would have been made illegal a long time ago.
