thank you for the correction. Then the statement is based on ... (Is this correctly attributed?)
Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?”
“A Republic, if you can keep it.” The response is attributed to BENJAMIN FRANKLIN—at the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, when queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation—in the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Maryland’s delegates to the Convention.
No Australia doesnt have compulsory voting...Aussie is like New Zealand...you must register to vote but you don’t have to vote...
I registered and voted one time before I immigrated to America...but I didn’t have to vote...I just chose to...
I got to vote because the law changed and us 20 year olds could suddenly vote..the age went down one year...someone wanted us to be grateful and elect them to office...
it didn’t work though...most of us were unprepared to decide and just voted the way our parents did...much to the chagrin of the authors of the new law...
the law changed one month, we voted the next I think...it was sprung on us...
anyhoo there was a lot of sudden unexpected confusion and craziness...
It would be like Congress voting in early October for a new secret bill to put the age down to 17 and Obama signing it into law and everyone voting together on Nov 8 the new baby voters included...and few in the country knowing about it till it happened..but the newbies don’t vote Democrat...
:)
..well.. I got “vehemently” right..., LOL
The most honest excuse would be -—”I am just too stupid”
Ha! who’s gonna pay the bill for the dead ones!
So, should we point out that the people who refuse to register in order to avoid the fine are virtually certain to be constituents of hers, or just let her find out later?
Communists Democrats are mentally ill beyond belief. And the worst part NY is controlled by these mentally ill and they seem to enjoy it.
If the government can force you to vote, they can tell you how to vote.
Why do some liberal women look like men?
Fail proof dem strategy to never lose another election: make voting mandatory in order to receive any sort of public assistance from the state.
We haven’t even had 65% eligible voter turnout since 1908. Congressional elections in off years get around 40% eligible voter turnout. Who knows if that is good or bad. The point is there’s many that just don’t care. What is worse is that supposedly the dumbest 10% of voters decide all elections, no matter who wins. The swing voters just vote on who manages to sway them that election, many times for non-rational reasons like debate performance or personal appearance.

how many freakin ways do states have to steal your hard earned money now? politicians have made a stinkin career out of stealing money from folks who actually work for a living!
...thanks for having a sense of humor...
So it would be a lot cheaper to live in NY and not vote than to live in Texas and masturbate.
**how many freakin ways do states have to steal your hard earned money now?**
In Connecticut, they just want your body parts. >;P

Mandatory voting—as they had in the Soviet Union and its satellites.
I bet she has zero interest in requiring voters to be educated on the issues and the candidates before they are forced to vote.
Stupid bimbo has taken “Vote or Die” to a whole new level. “You vill vote and you vill like it.”
Sounds like she is disenfranchising those poor black folks who don’t want to vote and don’t have the 10 bucks to pay the fine.
