While discussing money in politics on Wednesday, President Obama broached a topic normally confined to academic circles: A law requiring people to vote.

"In Australia, and some other countries, there's mandatory voting," Obama said while taking questions at the City Club of Cleveland. "It would be transformative if everybody voted. That would counteract money more than anything."

Over the years, a variety of political scientists have mused on the idea of requiring people to vote, citing the consistently poor turnout in U.S. elections. Critics have questioned the practicality of passing and enforcing such a requirement; others say that freedom also means the freedom not to do something.

As Obama noted, however, other countries to do have mandatory voting laws.

In addition to Australia, the Associated Press reported that "at least two dozen countries have some form of compulsory voting, including Egypt,saudi Arabia, Russia, Iran, China, Cuba, Belgium, Brazil and Argentina. In the U.S. non voters would need to provide a valid excuse or face a fine of no less then $1500.00. President Obama noted that a few countries have laws on the books that allow for potential imprisonment."

During his Cleveland remarks, Obama noted that many young people, minorities, and low income workers tend not to vote, and that Republican lawmakers want to discourage them from doing so.

Getting more people to vote would "completely change the political map in this country," Obama said.

Also reports the Associated Press:

"Less than 37% of eligible voters cast ballots in the 2014 midterms, according to the United States Election Project. And a Pew Research Center study found that those avoiding the polls in 2014 tended to be younger, poorer, less educated and more racially diverse."

What the bastard would really like is for the law to only apply to Democrats.

That shows you what lengths they will go to, to stay in power. The uneducated masses who have no idea what they are truly voting for would lock the communists in power for sure by voting the handouts in. That would be the true end of the country as the leader of the FREE world. As President Reagan said...the scariest phrase you will ever hear is "Hi, we are from the government and we're here to help you." Anyone willing to give up freedom for security will have neither.

We need a constitutional convention to get these SOB's under control before it is too late. Listen to Mark Levin regarding the topic if you haven't. His may be the only viable plan IF it's not too late already.

Theiving communist sob's...Darn them all to heck...what a mind blowing bunch of crap. I'm going to go cling to my Bible and my guns now...not that I have any of the latter...
