If Dems win the Senate and the House can they make voting mandatory?

i don't know if they could, but they wouldn't and they shouldn't.... voting should never be mandatory....

I dont think so , but they should make voting a national holiday .

this is a much more important priority.

the development of a general public that is both educated about and interested in politics is necessary but mandatory voting will not guarantee it

It's the new wave

Dems lost the house, the Senate and the oval office last time they mandated something.
How many times ya'll gonna run the authoritarian play before you realize Americans dont like being told what to do even if it benefits them.

Yeah it would be better for them to make Election Day a national holiday and move Election Day to the first or second Saturday of November that way more people have the day off and can go vote

 

[Wargames]

Just make Election Day a federal holiday.
