Demonstrating that no idea is so bad that it will lack adherents, CNN’s most fatuous pundit advocated on air for mandatory voting.

Just what we need: another restriction on our freedom, the government telling us what we must do.  And what kind of votes will be cast?  Will they be knowledgeable electors, or merely casual drive-by votes in which a trivial factor or a vague impression, not powerful enough to impel a person to vote, now becomes the basis for a choice?

This spectacularly awful idea has only one merit for one party.  It would almost certainly assure that Democrats would establish a one-party state.
