Just Like the Failed Soviet Union, Obama’s Wants Mandatory Voting

Obama’s Mandatory Voters | The American Spectator

By Ross Kaminsky – 3.20.15


The more uninformed they are, the more he wants force them to vote his way.


On Wednesday afternoon, speaking at the City Club of Cleveland, President Barack Obama suggested mandatory voting in the United States as an alternative to campaign finance reform — also known as restricting the free political speech of Americans.

It’s not surprising that Obama would support such a policy: He recognizes that he and his party have done poorly during midterm elections when turnout, particularly among minority and young voters, drops off substantially from presidential elections.
