Forced to vote?  Never.  I abhor the "voter voter" bills - if people are too uneducated to find a voter registration office, they should not be allowed to vote.

I have heard stories of bus loads of street people arriving at a polling place, and get their instructions and enter the voting booth.  They are rewarded with a $2 bottle of gin, a 40 ounce can, or something similar.  My only wish is that these folks nvote exactly opposite of their instructions because they cannot read.

I read most of your posts here, Mr. Groundpounder.  Thanks for sharing your finds.

Stupid people should not be allowed to vote!!     There should be a question answer sheet to qualify to vote to prove you are at least a little informed
