I support making voting compulsory for all US citizens residing in Minnesota. Voting is a responsibility of citizenship. Democracy will be stronger when more people vote.
Why is this important?
Every citizen has the responsibility to vote. We need more people voting, not less. Many countries require citizens age 18-70 to vote (Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Greece, Mexico, Brazil, Peru). Even though it often is not enforced, voting is an acknowledged obligation of adult citizens. Voter ID should be defeated because it means fewer people will vote.
