re: #87 Renaissance_Man

Can’t go as far as mandatory voting, and conversely I can’t justify any limits on, or ‘earning’ the franchise. No matter how you slice it, everyone who lives in the country is impacted by what government does. Hence, the franchise should be as open as possible - over age of majority, citizen, not currently convicted serving a sentence, or on probation/parole. Any other restrictions, and you’re making unwarrantable value judgements and disenfranchising people who nonetheless are subject to the government’s control.
