RE: Mandatory voting

What did I say that was incorrect?

What is the point of compelling them to show up at a ballot place and vote when the quality of their vote is likely to be shit? The only thing you will accomplish is to pollute the vote. You'll get blank ballots, ballots marked at random and ballots marked for fringe candidates the voter selected out of spite for being forced to vote. Oh, you'll probably get a few legitimate votes too but they will be far outweighed by the bogus ones. Why would you want to deliberately fuck up the vote like this?
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
