[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 195099, member: 135"] I'm not sure I agree that voting should be required. I think the majority of people who take the trouble to vote are interested in the process and actually know SOMETHING about the candidates. I know a few people who don't even know who's running and definitely don't know what they stand for. I can imagine that if it were required there would be more people than we care to think who would vote for somebody be because of their party or their race or their gender or for the candidate with the best hair or the most (insert adjective here like Greek, Jewish, Catholic, Irish, German, etc.) name, or because they saw something on the TV or the internet that might be totally false but they don't care enough to find out. I think if you don't care enough to be informed, you should stay home. [/QUOTE]
